Once we manage to get permissions to roll, it's gonna be a hoot! The
role-plays will be re-enactments of the 100+ "Elements of Criminal
Thinking". Thought processes common to infractions of the law. So, I'm
using Opensim as a "clothespin" to grab attention that this is not the
usual "classroom" experience, which is painful to those who lack
reading/writing skills. The lowest form of life with a spinal cord will
turn away from a lit match... pain. With our massive brains attached to
our armored spinal cords, we turn from pain in interesting (and
dangerous to others) ways. Opensim will drop that perception of pain,
from classical education, so that the good information can be presented
to replace bad information previously acquired. I think it's worth a
shot. Nothing else in the last 50 years or more has worked. :) Ric
