Ha, ha, yes, being the crabby old coot that I am, I am suspicious of wild, new technology. I would never trust a Star Trek transporter - one might arrive all rearranged incorrectly.

Essay or multiple choice?

I think they need to do further tests on Harry Reid. He has shown a highly selective memory as have most of the other rats in congress.

I always knew democrats were deficient in an important enzyme.

Perhaps we could use this technology to erase all memory of the Obamacare debacle in all the RATS in DC. LOL.

A long-time friend of mine gave me a great line about our memory lapses as we get older. He said:
It’s not a ‘loss of memory’ problem, it’s a ‘memory retrieval’ problem. A ‘lost’ memory is really not lost at all; it’s there, but the retrieval system doesn’t work so well sometimes, in our ‘sunset’ years.
His idea seems to make scientific sense, as this report claims, in as much as certain enzymes can help ‘restore’ memories. And, even without the aid of science, we ourselves sometimes find a ‘lost’ memory - sometimes even very unexpectedly and sometimes out of context of anything we are doing at the moment.
They had to still be there, and not missing at all, in order to be ‘found’ again.
We should learn to start referring to this whole issue as the issue of “misplaced” memories.

I can see a use for this enzyme in terrorist interrogations used along with sodium pentothal..............
