Didn't we have a post last year about a minister who was casting the devil out of computers? He had taken over the computer's memory and intelligence, sending unwitting people to porno chat rooms, etc. Michael B.

While I think that is true, I think we were on different wave lengths about that one. I also saw, and I am serious, a paranoid schizophrenic woman during the 70s who believed that smiling faces (you know, the kind that Wal Mart has recently revived) were a signal to her. While none of these are quite what you mean, Michael, they do capture some of the flavor of cultural factors relevant to psychosis.
