I have memories of when I was very young (say 2 or 3 years old). But I now believe that they are not real memories. They are either memories of memories, or memories that were created based on what others who observed me at that age have said. And to me, being an abstract person, memories are simply mental fabrications of events as I observed them anyway. So I'm dubious of any memories brought back using hypnosis or other techniques. I heard once of a man who plead guilty to a murder, and even claimed to remember doing it. It was later shown that he was innocent. Yet somehow memories of this crime were created during the interrogation, incarceration, and trial process. Was a very interesting story. I wish I could find the details on that one again. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
