Your first comment was a fine example of sarcasm and needed no further explanation.

Your tone is enough to scare me already! 🙂

If that doesn’t scare you, nothing will…

(very) Occasionally, such agreement leads to productive discussion, such as when I’ve encountered people sincerely interested in how we know the moon landings weren’t faked.

So be careful with sarcastic comments, as some people may think you mean it (and then agree with you).

WordPress didn’t seem to like the formatting of my “Libertublican Mode: Off” caveat apparently, and snipped it without my permission, then proceeded to post the entry without it, and offered no editing option…so the comment went out not as clear as intended.

There exist, however, a large swath who view the world through a lens fairly close to that.

People who don’t like it should either live in storm-proof homes, or take a private jet to Aspen or Cabo.
