re: #172 Khal Wimpo (the extinguisher of tiki torches)

Nah. Like the Millennial Cults that all laid down in shallow graves on Dec. 31, 1999, waiting for the Lord’s Trumpet to call them up to heaven in The Rapture … who climbed creakily out of said graves the next morning … they will just double-down on the CrazyStupid.

The alternative would be to admit that they were gullible fools, and that’s just an ego-hit that they cannot take.

Good analogy. End of the world types always readjust their calculations and the faithful follow right along.
