Oh, I know. And, as I said, DISbelief is certainly a more rational approach than belief; in fact I've often commented that the best thing about the obvious fakery done via digital means is that the general public is now _aware_ of just how much It is merely annoying to me that there seems to be a consensus that since there's no provably objective viewpoint, all viewpoints are equal and there's no point or purpose in trying to maintain some point of reference to "reality" - EVERYTHING is about selling something or other. I'm a little too young still (at least chronologically) to be sitting on the front porch waving a cane and yelling about "damn kids today!" but that's about what it comes to...
