I like your climate analogy. I spent 31 years in the ops world as a SWO (Staff weather officer)...an Air Force guy working Army Operations from the company, brigade all the way up to the 4-star level. I've had plenty of run-ins over AGW. When they find out you're a meteorologist...that's usually the first thing people want to ask you. One poor couple (from Rhode Island)asked me the question as soon as we got on an 11-minute ski-lift. I had a captive audience. I've never seen two liberals who wanted to jump off a lift so much in all my life. :-)
I would never classify people who follow Q as a cult. I think they are regular people like me...who perhaps are so frustrated they are grabbing at hope...any hope. Perhaps my thumb has been beaten with the hammer so many times it's numb.
Thanks for the response.
See, *that* wasn’t so difficult, was it? And now you and Disestablishmentarian have the beginnings of a *dialogue*.
