You mean "TPEing" isn't something we do on Halloween? APE and TPE are illusions, symbols (in the western, civilized world.) Yet, if I draw a picture of a tiger pit in the middle of my living room, it's a good bet people will walk around it (if only because it's funny.) That illusion changes their behaviour, ensuring they walk where I have directed them. Illusions are real; treating the illusion as reality (that the slave has no rights, that the owner has total power) lends itself towards a reality where people behave 'as if' it were real. I could write a sign that says "electric fence" on my non-electric fence, and it's a good bet people would be much more careful of it. Stephan
