It's still funny that a person like myself can still use the word believe and fact in the same sentance and this as you can see is one of our greatest banes....we don't need facts to believe....we need facts to know! The new age movement fails to understand this. Yes you can be a cynic depite having large amounts validating information to prove oneself wrong.Cynical can equal a closed mind,sceptical can equal an enquiring mind. As Francis Bacon once said "it's not wether you agree or disagree, it's wether you way and consider". Personally if I was offered up a choice between a closed mind, an open mind or an enquiring mind. The enquiring mind wins hands down. Being proven wrong can be beautiful thing just as much as being proven right. The truth aint always pretty...... it just is.

I asked "So, why are you attracting all this dissent instead of automatic acceptance." Can you say, "Dodge the question" ? ;-) You know, Ron, I made that point to one of the producers.

Can you say, “Dodge the question” ?

In the case of the "secret" proponents, all they need do is visualize universal acceptance and there it is. Why would they bother with cynicism, ridicule and non-belief?
