Anti-vaxxers are a dying breed.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

There is documentary proof that women are, in fact, from Venus.

Facebook post about The Field of Dreams site that is being stripped of all it's original intent and turned into some massive bit of marketing just posted introducing the 'expert' that was hired in 1988 to help them grow corn.
That movie site is right outside of my hometown...people have been growing corn there since the damn area was settled. WTF did they suddenly need an expert for?
FFS.
My somewhat snarky comment led to them explaining it had to be special corn. Movie corn, I suppose...magic corn.

A bit sobering to realize that I'm an annoying newb. Still. And nobody cares about what happened to me but me.

I haven't been over there in a while, so I'm clueless. However, some of them can sometimes be quite callous.
