SIGH.

EXCELLENT POINTS.

VERY EXCELLENT POINTS.

THANKS.

My own step-dad is a good case in point. And at 80 years old, unless I can go out and drag in several super tankers worth of evidence THAT TOUCHES HIS EXPERIENCE,

he is NOT

going to change his construction on reality.

Even if it is possible to do that, it's not very attractive as an exercise and expenditure of energy and time.

Thankfully he's not a total idiot and has a good heart and mostly conservative values. But his Dillbo and UN idiocies are troubling and not very alterable. I hope to be able to get him to NOT vote for

her unroyal lowness,
her hideous heinous--
Bwitch Shrillery Antoinette
de Fosterizer
de Marxerizer
de Enslaver
de Global-government-tyrannizer
de Commie-cheer-leader
de Ruthlessness-personified
de Sh*t-flinger
de Constitution-shredder
de Sade

in 2004.

I hope. I'm sure working on it though very carefully. I don't want him to dig his heels in out of old Danish stubbornness. Or is it merely human stubbornness.

Quix, my quixotic man! Don't be so hard on me! I'm lucid, I'm factual, I'm without religious bias.

It's the hard evidence that is the problem. That is, the hard evidence that overturns reality. I can spin a yarn as good, or better, than most. The problem is when the bill must be paid and the facts are not at hand. He/she said doesn't do it. Once upon a time doesn't do it.

I believe in BBQ. I believe in the work of my arms and mind. I believe in the sunrise. I believe in all of these things because I know by repeatable evidence that they are real.
