re: #584 Charles
I don’t know about you, but I am tired of sort of giving these people the benefit of the doubt by calling them “gullible”. It implies a kind of innocence, benign passivity. I think these folks are either intellectually lazy or unable to process, stubborn, etc. They just do not want to believe in anything that doesnt fit their imagistic world. Perhaps they are terrified and are stupefied, but they don’t act like people who are frightened. Quite the opposite.
