Even so, the multi-faceted, pernicious consequences of this challenge to mankind need to be fully known to all to facilitate the formulation of effective anti- terrorist plans. Notable among these are a soul-killing sense of insecurity and instability, the heavy loss of life and the erosion of confidence in the administration's capacity to ensure safety.

To let continue an unchecked growth of population is the most important problem before India. All our major ailments are related to this problem and quite a disaster awaits the country if this problem is not tackled effectively and urgently. Poverty is a problem in the country which we keep constantly lamenting about. But, surprisingly and woefully, we fail to understand that the problem of poverty is man-made-the more the population, the more the poverty. We have not been able to educate our poor class that more children are not an asset, they are a liability. For the present the poorer class thinks that every child born to them would in due course, be an earning member-an asset; while they fail to understand or we have failed them to understand that every new child would need more to eat, more to be fed, more space to live. There is an more...

Throughout many cultures, plants as well as manufactured substances are used both for healing and to broaden perceptions and challenge reality.

Timothy Leary, an icon of 60's drug subculture, as well as cybernetic psychology explains, "The psychedelic drug movement of the 60's and the personal computer movement of the 80's are inner and outer reflections of each other."

He got caught and thrown into prison, but once he got out nothing changed. Kevin stated that as long as the technology is there it just calls to people to break into it.

Hovering in space in front of you is what appears to be a spaghetti fork (the virtual image of the glove you are wearing). Wiggle your thumb and, sure enough, the fork wiggles. As you ponder the mechanics of the glove you burst noiselessly and effortlessly through a wall and into a burnt-sienna space that seems to, and probably does, extend into infinity. Without a registered thought, you find yourself pointing. Matt Wielispach, of Cedar Rapids, IA, provides for us a concrete example of virtual reality furthering perceptions and reconstructing the reality of real life. He has been building airplane more...
