Oh for the days when we were amused by those who believed the earth is flat, the Loch Ness Monster is real, that Dr. Pepper was made from prune juice. Those ideas seem so benign now. Currently we contend w/ angry people (carrying guns) yelling the election was 'stolen' from the former president; Birthers who claim President Obama wasn't born in the U.S.; The Parkland shootings of grade school kids was staged; No plane hit the Pentagon on 9/11; COVID isn't the reason 450,000 Americans died; Investment firm Rothschilds shot lasers to start California wild fires; Democrats eat babies. It seems there isn't anything so bizarre that there aren't people who will buy into it. Of course, there will always be some gullible individuals but I'm shocked at the sheer number of folk who go along w/ this crap. When did we lose logic? To critically think about what we read? To take the blinders off?
