-                     ...People should be afraid to look at terminals if
-there is a possibility subliminal messages are being sent.  Why isn't this
-practice illegal?  I vote for a complete banning of subliminal messages from
-any electronic medium and propose for now a banning of subliminal messages
-across the Internet.  Subliminal messages are a dangerous threat to our
-security and the integrity of the Internet.
