That's the creepy part - to be held accountable for what something says is in your subconscious mind

But polygraphs are not generally accepted as evidence in court.

With any discovery comes both positive and negative potential. With the discovery of nuclear energy came the potential for both limitless and cheap electrical energy, and destruction of all life on Earth. Imagine what this sort of thing could eventually do for people who are hospitalized and incapable of speech, in a coma, autistic.....

I can see the potentional, but I can also see that the abuse of it far outweighs it.

While I do see some benefits, I think the potential to cause harm much greater.

Edit: Ah.. Rogue you read my mind. LOL

Nor I, but we've managed to continue living for 63 years since the first A-bomb was dropped.

You just put it in better words than I did.

You can't put the Genie back in the bottle, Nor can you hide the bottle so no one else will open it.

IMO I think the best you can do is be as public as possible, so more of it takes place in the light of day and not in dark backrooms.

But why is it ok that she can read your mind and not the White House?

I agree. I feel that the positives (without over thinking it with my tired mind) outweight the negative. Even thought BG's tinfoil crew thinks different.
