Re: [HOE] Re: Doomsayers

[CDR <charliechan7@redshift.com>]

to go off the subject matter abit i would like to chime in about the dead being
excepted before the last war. if you read the cyborgs book they talk all about this.
in the USA the dead did'nt exist and had no rights , that why they where able to put
so many in the blackleaf institute.in the CSA if i remember there was a live and let
live policyas in britain in other word you stay in control of your little pet demon
and you don't end up with a bullet in the brain. in germany they where required to
register with the goverment. in france they where excepted and walked around in brod
daylight and all. in mexico it slip my mind. also they kept the cyborg program
quiuet for som many year because of the zimmerman rampage where this harrowed name
zimmerman went on a rampage in malls of amerca before swat put a bullet in his brain
pan. the goverment did'nt want people knowing they where using dead for cyborg cause
of the risk that could happen with the public. that is all. please correct me on
some things if i was mistaken.
