I just used the cyborg/data chip reference in a chat with Tex last week.

I thought the first half of the talk was interesting and quite good. He spoke of the various trials endured by the early Saints, including the mob persecutions, the Extermination Order, Pres. Van Buren's indifference, etc., and then he described the celebration by the Saints in Utah in 1849 and the various ways they expressed thanks for the Constitution and the nation. Despite being treated rather badly by elements of the nation, the Utah members paid tribute to it. I gathered the point was that despite our disagreements with government, we should honor it.

I liked that part, but then my meal of enchiladas and fruit salad kicked in and I drifted off into my usual afternoon state of semiconsciousness.

Thanks, that's a good way of looking at it.

Hack indeed. Tex = cyborg references are far older than you, young padawan.
