By the time they’re about 30, it might dawn on them that they’ve been had.

But you never know, people have a tendency to rationalize their foolishness, and as Bernie Madoff shows us, snake oil salesmen are masters of the moving target.

I know too many Millenials who are into their mid-30's and still buy all of the bulls***.

The real issue is to get all the draconian regulations and controls in place before then. Then they can claim they stopped climate change. This hoax is nothing but a vehicle for communism to be re-imposed world wide.

That was the case for me. This indoctrination isn't new, I can remember it back in my elementary/middle school days too. And Ibought into it, until I was old enough to think logically.

Sadly, I believe that most of them will continue believing their indoctrinations no matter what they can observe outside the windows.

People who can revise their opinions when faced with contradictory evidence are quite uncommon.

I am not so good at that myself. It is hard work.

That won't matter. Most people who discover that they have been wrong for their entire lives tend to cling more tightly to that wrong worldview than to admit that they were wrong, discard the old, and explore the new.

They would rather cling to sodden log of stupidity than swim 100 feet to the lifeboat of truth.
