I just got mail from a college friend of mine who is also a veteran, and who worked in Iraq providing security for people and things that needed to get froom point A to point B. He is a good guy with a great sense of humor, and a generous spirit.
All of which makes it even more difficult to read his Bilderberger, CFR, Luap Nor, Nazis-as-Darwinists, Soros, WorldNetDaily lunacy.
He wrote a conspiracy introduction to a Darwin-bashing “book review” posted to WND by petulant kook Ellis Washington. In his introduction, he announces that the History Channel program Life After People (based on the informative and engaging book) is one of the ways in which we are being programmed by our masters, evidence of our sinister overlords’ view that “we are not needed in the future.”

I really want to engage him on this, but I absolutely dread the conversation. I would rather remember him the way I do now, and I fear that by engaging, all I will accomplish is to degrade the memory of an old friend. Still clinging to my illusion, I guess.
