There ARE things to be concerned about that are happening in our world, Strategerist and I personally find that your sarcasm doesn’t help to uncover truths that may exist... I would caution you to be careful in automatically dismissing anything you find “uncomfortable” to deal with. I don’t believe everything I read, but more often than not there are nuggets of truth, and to dismiss everything is plain naive, IMHO.
I don't dismiss anything I find "uncomfortable," I dismiss anything I find "silly."
And I would caution you to be careful in automatically assuming that when somebody dismisses something you find worthy of consideration he does so because he finds it "uncomfortable". It IS possible to disagree with you without suffering from neurotic anxiety, strange as that may seem. And it's possible to argue for a conjecture without calling one's opponents mental health into question. No, really, it is......
Strat:
Thanks for the 411 on GHWB's tats. I wonder what his rap name is.
Some folks are convinced that they are the last word on sanity, geopolitical reality, spirituality, geology, geography, space, Christianity, Conspiracies, . . .
even though their main claim to fame seems to be a massive collection of throwing rocks and lots of practice.
Skepticism can be healthy to a point.
Making of it a god and an obsessive habit is not my idea of a great way to assess reality or a great way to live.
