If you think that crop circles are about "smashing corn", you're not being rational.
By simply viewing the photos of the formations, it is easy to see which are made by humans, and which are "other-worldly."
Consider this. One can't even see what they look like, nor get the special events (3-D, brightness, shimmer) unless viewed from high above. That's why the arial photography is so important. The beauty and effect of these formations are lost to anyone viewing them from the ground. And I escapes me that anyone could create these from the ground.
I'm not asking to change your mind on this subject. Just, at least, look at them before you compare them to fields of smashed corn.
Quite so.
And it IS wise to avoid expecting a certain class of folk to change their minds on such. We have to be much more realistic than that in this dangerous era.
