[at-l] Thoughts of Slackpacking:

[thornel@attglobal.net (W F Thorneloe)]

Change that: "Tampering with a person's dream is inevitable. A person's 
dreams are not static. By sharing your dreams and experiences, you can help 
shape another's dreams. The danger comes when a "teacher" attempts to 
manipulate those dreams to match their own biases. A good student often 
recognizes that, but sometimes becomes prone to being exploited. A good 
teacher's task is to avoid biases, known and unknown, and encourage 
critical judgement."

Yes, "brain washing" differs little from intensive education with sleep 
deprivation, strange surrounding and bad airline cuisine.

Thanks for the dope slap. I needed that.
