Snipping won't change the reality that liquid fuel prices will resume
spiraling in 6 months.

Here, let's try again:

Just as economic insecurity inflames religious fundamentalism,
spiraling fuel costs and stagflation are also behind the spike in
delusional posting.

Greater American society today is, in fact, much like the plains
Indians' a century and a half ago. A way of life is coming to an end
so rapidly many dream of the old days and indulge in a fantasy world
like small children.

So not only do U. S. leaders -- assuming any exist -- have to deal
with an aging obese population with less natural resources and, worst
of all, all the hubris and bad laws of a decaying super power, we can
add one more problem:

Large numbers of people who are so delusional rewriting the public
record seems easier than facing reality.

And _no_ outlawing fantasy the way ghost dancing was outlawed will
_not_ help.

Both are/were protected expression under U. S. Const. Amend. I.
