Then it gets sad when you realize how deadly serious this guy is. Either he believes the sh*t he`s shovelling (which is sad), or he knows exactly what he is doing and he is a scam artist and 21st Century Patent Medicine Shill. I happen to think he is the latter. A full blown B.S. factory that depends on the ignorance of the masses to generate his revenue. Hoaxland is what we get and deserve when we dont do enough to teach our kids about science, technology and the ACTUAL wonders of the universe (no ridiculously byzantine, baffling baloney required to be genuinely interesting). This guy makes a living off of people`s ignorance. Tricky-Dick Hoaxland is a barrel of Monkeys and a real hoot to listen to late at night on the radio.

(Ethan Brown performed for the Boston Skeptics a couple of months ago, and was amazing!) But alas, it doesn't look like we'll able to go. Have fun! See you at Dragon*Con?

That says it all, WOW! Hope to do a "marathon" go-out-west trip in June. Might be going out or coming home via I-70, so could conceivable stop on by St. Louis if my passenger is agreeable to that.
