My time here on AF has severely disillusioned me with regards to helping some see reason. Too often my time here has shown that many reject reason in order to cling to pre-conceived beliefs and comforting myths and are unwilling to challenge them properly. As I had to referred to it in another thread, it feels like emptying an ocean with a spoon. I can't continue something that in all essence appears to be futile.
