Finny.....LOL!!
Respectfully, not so odd. My wise old dad taught me that when you care what others think of you, others control you. Peer pressure, "slaves to fashion" who wear ridiculous clothes because they want to fit in with the cool crowd, that kind of thing. It's human nature. There is a very, very powerful resistance to the message here because it opens one up to the possibility -- heck, likelihood -- of being snickered at for being a "conspiracy theorist," subject to both pity and scorn, of people who allow themselves to be spoon-fed the news in headlines and the first few paragraphs of a story, and take zero responsibility for completing it with a modicum of their own due diligence.
That saying "ignorance is bliss" is eloquent. I ignored this story for nearly two weeks because I understood so very well that it was just a matter of a bunch of mean bully got-something-to-prove "tough guy" bikers of the type I have known in plenty over my 58 years, shooting at each other, good riddance to bad rubbish, why is this even in the news other than good news?
And I'd still be enjoying the happy bliss of that ignorance if I had not noticed that several FReepers who've earned my respect over the years, were taking hard and long second looks at this Waco charade.
See my home page to understand where I'm coming from. There are two types of people in this world: those who let others' opinions of them dictate what they think and do, and those who have the courage to go where the truth leads even if it means they may be scorned for it.
