This is kinda where I was going with the videotaped boxing
notion: no *new* brain-bashing necessary. Perhaps computer
simulated boxing? Now that I think about it, I do play
WW2 air fighter simulations, and I realize how much
better those are than the real thing: one can survive long
enough to play many matches. Perhaps we can deal with
the that side of our human natures by simulating them
and playing out our darker fantasies harmlessly. spike
