I'm guessing we wouldn't have spring break reading. :P


I think we're all impacted by the uncomfortable weight of knowing. It seems kind of inhuman to want to take it away.

Uh oh. Wrong guess.

Doesn't it seem too weird to remove memories no matter how horrible? Some things just seem sacred...

I'd say it would be downright dangerous to erase memories so flippantly.
