    Actually, the book uses different terms to describe an "agitate for"
    Agitate action. Under "Loyalty" on p36 it uses the term "friendly
    manipulation" which has a kind of stark, Orwellian horror if you really
    consider it. It does use the word "stabilize" once in the Agitate action
    description, but there is no "stabilize action" and I didn`t know what you
    meant either, I`m afraid. Mr. Gauck responded before I did.

    So you`re both claiming you didn`t know what I was saying ? (yeak okay -
    fair cop -- still noone answered the test case yet - still working on it ?)

    Anyone ever seen a game called "Freedom in the Galaxy" ? It had a
    Mega-Weapon called a planetary stabilizer. Which sounded benign until
    you found out that it stabilized a planet - that is - it abruptly
    stopped the normal rotation of the planet causing it to break up - death
    star style.
