Ultimately Nigel "I" am identifying soma with opioids. I only supplied you with a link to identify what "I" was comparing. Excellent prophesy by Huxley don't you think? There was a Congressman who was a doctor 13 years ago who seriously suggested a drug to suppress 'political anxiety'. But that is as far as I go without investigation.

Florida has more important things to do unless the Nazis march on Miami and Jewish nursing homes. A survivor with a number tattoo would stop the march like a lone person in Tiananmen Square stopping tanks.
Survivors I know are tough cookies for being in their late eighties and up.
Only the surviving camp kids who got a tattoo are left.
