You know, my first impulse was to show my brother, who is a conspiracy nut and would probably love this; but then I remembered how he thinks *everything* he reads and hears is true, especially if it directly contradicts all actual, scientific evidence (for example, that guy in the States who shot up his military base a few years back was apparently on anti-depressants, which, according to him, work by removing inhibitions and pretty much work by causing schizoid breaks with reality; my stating that if that were true, this would be happening every bloody day was brushed aside, as was my attempts to explain, from my own first-hand perspective and own study of the subject, what depression actually is and how various anti-depressants actually work. Which of course has nothing to do with inhibitions at all, but hey, he heard it from this guy who has a late-night conspiracy-themed radio show on the Internet, so IT MUST ALL BE TRUUUUE).
Yeah, don't think I'm gonna show it to him after all, lol.
