I just found out about this 'Sonic Crowd Control' device the The Vancouver Police will have on hand at The 2010 Winter Olympics... Seems like a bad idea to me! What do you think?
Whenever something is being worked on for the benefit of the whole, the dark side is never far behind. Lurking in the dark recesses of the overactive fearful mind, this dark side tends to invest more energy into its cause due to the pressures of fear and paranoia. This is something we have to be aware of at all times, but fighting it may deplete our energies, needed for the healing of others, including the same ones who embrace this dark side. Our efforts are needed to create awareness, not among those who are potential victims, but among those who's fear tells them to control and harm, even kill others. And be aware, that there is not enough knowledge about the effects of this sonic device for crowd control. There are a number of us who would be severely affected by the blasts of sonic energy this device creates, possibly to the point of experiencing seizures, and in the worst cases, even death. I do not know this as a fact, but neither does the government!! It would be interesting to study the effects of large scale protest gatherings on the courses of action by any government, and then decide if such protest gatherings are useful at all. To me it doesn't seem useful at all, and not participating is such protest gatherings helps eliminate the need for the development of such diabolical devices such as machine guns or sound cannons. Personally, I have much more success influencing the courses of events by understanding, communication, compassion and love.
Hope this helps............
