Can you say, "Minority Report" or think of Orwell's 1984 and the "thought police"?
Well sports fans...they're getting closer.  Check out the following article:

Do try to think happy thoughts!

Is the former better? Parrots can't think up new phrases, or say a billion different things. Are we getting closer to each other over time? Can you handle articles Paul?

I can already see a potential for misuse. Like jailing someone before they did something on the idea that "well, you were GOING to do it, but you just don't realize it yet." and royally screwing up someone's life before something ELSE would come along in that time and maybe prevent them from doing this or maybe they never would have anyway (ie. the program misread them). I honestly think that humans can not handle such a concept without abusing it, and costing lives.

That's why I made reference to "Minority Report" w/ Tom Cruise. People in the future were arrested whenever they thought about committing a murder or crime.- Very good movie!

I would NEVER watch ANYTHING with Tom Cruise in it! YUK! He makes me sick. SO I don't think I could stomach the movie. It's a shame because it seems like a neat story. But this is probably the only actor I can't stand so much that I would never want to see any movie he'd be in.
