In a psychology class, I learned about token reward systems in mental
health clinics. The patients learn to how to earn chits or tokens by
good behavior and they can spend the points on commissary items or
privileges. Animal trainers know about the transfer of rewards. In
the movie ACCIDENTAL TOURIST vistor Muriel Pritchett (Geena Davis)
does this with the previously uncontrolled family dog. She feeds him
and clucks, feeds him and clucks. Then she just clucks and he obeys
her, as if he were being rewarded with food.

I don't know which is scarier, that the government treated us like
inmates or animals -- or that we fell for it.

I mean, at least, among numismatists, there is still a pretty good
understanding of what money is... and is not...

The best thing that could possibly happen to mental health patients would be
their destruction by any means possible. There is no mental health system
in the Middle East. They don't waste time or money on such leeches. Their
tools are the desert sand, a backhoe and a bullet.
