I have just discovered this wonderful coffe shop down the block from where I work. Damian and I visit it as much as we can, which is quite alot actually... it is very homey and well New Agey...right up my alley. They have a quaint book shell with numerous books.. the policy is take a book leave a book.. Books ranged from Sylvia Brown..to Love stories..to Conspiracy theories... My first book that I acquired was... From Science to God by Peter Russell... Very interesting... I replaced it with a Sylvia brown book... never really cared for her...
The other day I went in and found a book called... Tales from the Time Loop by David Ike... It looked familiar to me and at the time I could not place it... Damian and I took the kids to the park and I sat and read numerous excerpts from it to him... It was then I realized how it came to be... my familiarity with this book..
Not two days before... a catalog had come in the mail for me... Global Insights... and in that were numerous David Ike books... I explained it to Damian and with a smile he said " They are coming for you Barbara"...(Night of the Living Dead}....
My thoughts on it.... Fantastical... Inconceivable... {say it like the guy on Princess Bride or was it Spaceballs)... but .....very ... very... interesting....hmmmm...
Any thoughts....be kind....or not.....

Icke's pretty far out. He's also pretty commercial. 'S been quite a while since his name was last bandied about in here.

I ran across a little cafe like that one in Raleigh a couple of years or so ago. Interesting place for a skeptic, as long as he opens his mouth only to shovel food into it. I recall that looking at the menus was rather like browsing an homeopathic textbook. Food was pretty good though, and the atmosphere enjoyable. It was also correspondingly expensive.

I googled Icke and the first hit was this interview. He seems like a garden variety conspiracy theorist. He was saying the same thing we get from V-man here.
Here is the interview:

Storm; you sure have a penchant.

I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

You are free to believe what you want to believe and I am free to ridicule you for it.

My thoughts are that you probably get lots of catalogs with woo-woo stuff, and that you're now frequenting a coffee shop with a bookshelf full of woo-woo stuff. That you should coincidentally find David Icke books two days apart in both piles of woo-woo shouldn't be surprising at all.

What I'm wondering is how far Damian's feeding of your paranoia has to go before it could be considered sposal abuse.
