"One of things that may be happening with conspiracy theory fanaticism, is that when confronted with information on both sides of an issue, for some people, when that psychological 'circuit breaks', instead of reverting back to a previously held position…..or even a more extreme version of it….….they instead detach from any semblance of reality."

gawk Guernica weekly
gone to dust & fustian
the lone lament can't speak
allowed in this chowder

a hundred days' hazards
handed us as sandwich
to fix will take flak coats
fending generations

Guernica's stark story
a staring skull ullage
among many annals
of merch, clowns, & lurchdance

Yours is No Disgrace.
