Back in the 1970's, I was very much a believer in this stuff, Bermuda Triangle, ancient astronauts, flying saucers, etc.

But as I got older, I found more and more books and videos that showed how fake all those things were.

So I learned to not be suckered by the woo spreaders.
Don't forget in 1980 and 1984 I voted for Reagan.
So as I learned more and more, I saw how fake they all were.

Now if you look here:

You'll see many people (including many we slam with glee like Glenn Beck,) who are not dumb.

They are absolutely stupid.
