Really!! I thought to myself! What was interesting was both my rage at that view but also shame that I am viewed as some kind of a nut... so utterances like this made me say more about the atrocities and the clear evidence that we are dealing with frank malfeasance being evident here, giving various examples etc. I would watch my friends eyes fade away and notice lack of response and changing the subject....I just noticed more and more people fade away as I tried to alert and inform them of what was going on. I guess soon enough I felt like a pariah noticing friend after friend disappear unless I pretended I was like them, something that was difficult to do. I guess I should just get over the injustice and have compassion for them but the hurt is palpable still. Any thems the breaks! Truth can have costs which have to be borne and would not change it if I had to do this all over again
ah, you describe the most tragic aspect of this whole charade ... how 'smart' people fade away and become One with the criminals, as it were. Stay strong and thanks so much for your heartfelt and astute commentary.
