Do you ever wonder why the missile defenders seem to be disappearing one by one?

Reminds me of a weird situation many years ago. Back in the days when Rivero ran all over this site. Worked with him a couple of times in Hollywood in the early 1990's. Not my choice. Anyway, sent him email and said, Mike, its me, remember we worked together a couple times. Been watching your posts on FreeRepublic. How you doing. Then he told me he was living in Vancouver Canada. So I said, wow, I just happen to be traveling to Vancouver in a month, which actually was true. Offered to buy him a beer. He then replied that he was really in Hawaii working for a Japanese company. Said he was on the run from the Clinton Arkansas mob. I just scratched my head and laughed. Funny stuff.

Rivero was a master of conspiracy. I got so tired of arguing his conspiracies that I created a couple of threads based on recent (November 1999) news stories just to show him how easy it was to get folks to believe ridiculous theories. I used exact phrases from some of his threads.

Here they are:

  Float plane crashes in river 

  3 killed in N.J. plane crash

“I just scratched my head and laughed. Funny stuff. “

It doesn’t have to make sense. That’s the part that you have to accept before you can cross over from “Why don’t these people get it?” into, as you call it “Funny stuff”.

Once you’re there, it can be pretty amusing.

I have to continually struggle to remind myself.
