Absolutely. If I ever, which is RARE, try to explain a bit to someone who is living the Dream, I am acutely aware how crazy and paranoid I sound... and I tell them, yeah, it IS crazy, but I'm not paranoid. Doesn't do any good, usually. They give me That Look. I pretty much never do try to inform people, except my folks, hoping it will "stick" and they won't get any more shots.

Yep. My 29-year-old daughter thinks I'm nuts. She smirked and asked me if I believe in Reptilian People (in the David Icke mode) I just said, 'not yet'.

I immediately pictured you saying, "Of course I believe in you, honey."

HA HA

That smirking, tho... Ain't it infuriating? I want to think of a non-violent response to that, like maybe shooting them? Just kidding. A pie in the face? No, I would want to eat the pie...

Maybe... "Believing in bullshit will give you early wrinkles"?
