Hi Chris,

----Interesting the links you made while reading my post. That said I think you didn't quite understood that it was a representation based on an analogy. In my post it is the brain which is compared to a government. In my entire post I didn't use the work government to refer to an actual government let alone an actual government of the mentally ills. But it's quite easy to get lost while reading this ! .. and my written english limits me and give ways to some pretty obscur explaination sometimes :P
See ya,
