Do you have LibreOffice or Microsoft Office, Wayne? Those suites have such a program. Under LO, it is called Draw. I am forgetting what Microsoft calls it.

--- Quote ---One man who actively sought to be on that list–Charles Dederich–would take a lot from his fanatical AA days when forming Synanon, but unfortunately it did not include Rockefeller’s premonitions nor Wilson’s frugality–and he would have loved to have been on the cover of Time. He went on to prove that absolute power corrupts absolutely. The fact is B.F. Skinner, the originator of a planned perfect society concept, placed value decisions in the hands of behavior modification specialists. And Ms. Rosenberg, that means peer pressure eventually will transmit the illness of anyone’s psychology that no one completely escapes.

--- Quote ---Ms. Rosenberg’s book reminds me of the 1965 book “The Tunnel Back” by sociologist Lew Yablonsky who similarly applauded Synanon’s admitted system of thought reform as a “cure.” Himself a participating square (non addict), Yablonsky was “washed” into writing all Synanon critics were “prejudiced” and “enemies” that had to be stopped, while accurately telling the story of the Synanon process of submitting people to peer pressure to conform, making the analogy to using Thought Reform as described by Dr. Robert J. Lifton in his l962 book Thought Reform and The psychology of Totalism. Yablonsky ate up Synanon’s rhetoric against critics the way the Nazi’s accepted Jewish blame.

--- Quote ---Yablonsky studied sociology and criminology at Rutgers University and in 1958 at New York University for the Ph.D. doctorate. He taught at several prestigious universities, such as Harvard University and Columbia University since 1963 and is a professor of criminology and sociology (now emeritus ) at California State University, Northridge in Northridge ( Los Angeles ). He is also a psychotherapist ( psychodrama ). Yablonsky has published on topics of subculture , the drug therapy and psychodrama , and found that worldwide attention.
