Wait, you mean there really IS global warming??

But I thought the media exposed that hideous, communist-fascist, global, left-wing conspiracy started by evildoer Al Gore and perpetuated by a cabal of pro-world-government scientists under the leadership of arch-villain James Hansen!

You mean the University of East Anglia emails exposé was a manufactured news story intended to fuel the false debate over climate change??

No way!

But of course it doesn't matter now, does it?

9/11 was an inside job.

"Oh, come off it!"
"Not that again."
"Conspiracy theorist!"
"Commie!"
"Can't we put that to rest?"
"So what?"

Sorry to offend. I believe it. The world is far colder and crueler than we want to believe.

I want to believe in the warmth and decency of humanity, too. And it's there, it really is. But it is matched by darkness untold.

Read the article-- and linked oral histories-- only if you've a stomach for this dark meal.
