When my DIL first started college (long story), I helped her with most of her homework. She had this commie, hippie professor for philoshophy. We wrote papers that were so extreme and satirical, and so out there that we giggled the whole time and he fell for them, hook, line and sinker. They were so extreme, Lenin would have hired us for his regime.

My DIL tried reasoning in the beginning but it did no good, the whole class was an inculturation of Communism so we decided to go overboard to see if it phased him and it did but in a good way to him.

I believe it. There's nothing they won't swallow. I remember at one point we had to read the publications of some fellow who wrote about an (apparent) Native American belief that deer run some distance from the hunter and then stop and look back because they are offering their lives to the hunter. The anthropologist was arguing that this was every bit as valid as any Western explanation.

I said, "They stop and look back because deer don't understand what a GUN is!" But oh, no, we have to give credence to the Native American interpretation of why deer stop running when they think they are a safe distance away. By this point, I was so exasperated, it was the beginning of the end for me.
