Good Morning Tom,

Your opinion is valid, not only to yourself but to many others here as well. I'm glad you don't speak for us all, but your opinion is certainly welcome.
It's true, Bernard Weiner could be using Shallow Throat as an example to dramatize his point. But his points are valid, just like yours.
Not everyone thinks that GWB is spreading petals of roses everywhere he goes. He is so adept at keeping the masses befuddled with propaganda, that the average thinking man just doesn't know how to separate the facts from the bullshit anymore.
Having followed the Bush family strategies and co-dependants for the past 15 years, I can tell you how really VERY predicable he and his cronies are.
So, I agree with Bernard Weiner here.

As for this opinion of yours:
>"My recommendation: don't hang on to the "reality" of this stuff too tightly, or you'll end up looking as dorky as the crop circle fanatics."

It's just another OPINION, not based on fact.
You know very little about crop circles and I have been studying the research and scientific reports very carefully for the past 10 years now. I know all the major researchers, they are friends of mine. I have done the research MYSELF.
And I'm far from dorky and I take offense that you lump the study of something serious into the Bernard Weiner category.
Actually, I guess it's a left-handed compliment.
So we disagree. That doesn't make you right.

Nancy Talbott has done the bulk of research into the crop circles that aren't hoaxed.
If you knew anything about crop circles, you'd know that most of them are man made, but not all. The ones that are made from above, whether they're our own advanced technolgy or that of an unknown natural or sentient element, still bears proper examination.
Nancy has enough information to make anyone sit up and notice. Especially the results of the recent clay mineralization tests.
