Hello all,
 
 "attempting SOME education"........ I'd just give up. We live in a world that still has folks that believe we didn't go to the moon.....they believe the world is only a few thousand years old.... hell, my EX-mother-in-law thought the moon was the sun cooling down at night... (YES, I did ask the EX wife if her mother had a stroke when she saw both out at the same time).
 
I have people I work with that think the end is coming , (* SIGH * again) . 2012, the volcano in Iceland is proof you know!
 
I do suppose you will reach some young mind that can benefit from some real information. I have found that most folks that bring me a wrong can be offended with the bad news. I have taken a new approach with people now... I let them know why I can understand they thought it was a meteorite and then slip in some education without seeming like a complete ass.
 
Some people will believe in unicorns and doubt carbon dating. Don't hurt your brain trying to help them. Smile and nod friend.... smile nod.
