SA:  That's exactly why I was thinking about those troubled youth I worked with and the homeless guy.  The troubled youth didn't think ahead that much at all even after getting into trouble or redirected over, over, over, and over again, which makes me question the validity for Pavlov's law being used too narrowly.  With each change or routine redirection to keep them from regressing, they would still panic, show fear, and release these emotions in anger, violence.  And about the homeless guy.  He just didn't know that all this free food is here, with an opportunity to make a warm fire, and comfortable shelter in the wilderness.  This is where my concern is.
