the greatest of fears

Humans have begun to fear something so ridiculous that it is laughable, and ... ridiculous.  Think about the words "Keeping up with the Joneses." Think about insecurity.  Now think about the fact that a lot of Americans (and maybe others, but I can only speak of which I have seen with my own two eyes) are afraid to find out that they were wrong...so afraid, that they try to dismiss anything that might prove them wrong.  No matter how vile a persons opinion may be, we all deserve to hear it.  If we are smart, then we will dissect and dismiss those opinions that are not based on what you and I see.  The idea that we may have been fooled is one that will crush any natural curiosity.  Well guess what?  A lot of you have been fooled.  You went to bed early on Christmas Eve, so your parents could get drunk and fool around.  You were afraid you wouldn't get any presents from Santa Claus if you were naughty, or awake when he showed up.  Did it ruin your life when you found out that Santa Claus wasn't real?  Was your life so chaotic that the only conclusion could be destruction?

 

NO!
