They prefer OFFICIAL LIES and HALF-TRUTHS, (mixed with a lot of WORTHLESS TRIVIA), in place of the UN-official Truth; it makes them FEEL more "SECURE", like a child's blanket. Whenever they are confronted with information and supporting evidence that contradicts their established belief system, they FREAK OUT and even ATTACK or try to SILENCE The Messenger. They did it to Jesus Christ, Galileo, and many other great People, [So I am in good company.]. Even the Christian Bible (Matthew 7:6) warned about the HAZARDS of casting Pearls of Wisdom before SWINE. "The more things change, the more they STAY THE SAME!" They should INSTEAD read FOR THEMSELVES the Messenger's CITED SOURCES. In spite of the APPEARANCE (ILLUSION) of advancement and sophistication, modern society is STILL IN THE DARK AGES and LONG OVERDUE for a NEW renaissance, which I am trying to help speed up. Robert E.
