(V): It is as you say, and the last few days here I've broadened the scope of my argument against America by following the implications of 9/11 being a U.S. conspiracy, of the Iraq war being illegal, of torture unto death, of links revealing CIA involvement in crimes worldwide, just a whole plethora of things. I can understand how this would seem surreal to someone who hasn't spent some time adjusting themselves emotionally & intellectually to a vastly different worldview. It's like an alternate reality that is simply too much to take in at once. I sympathize with this.

Bernice's case is different only in that, with the exception of one post that I can recall, she has consistently opposed everything I've said on this board from the beginning, about any issue whatsoever. So it doesn't follow that NOW she must reject my arguments, whereas BEFORE she thought I was making some good ones. Now....perhaps she really did think that, but I've seen no evidence of it (except her last statement about my previous "credibility" which, considering what has gone before, I find less than credible itself).
