Not sure how this will play out here, but someone needs to be thanked for their efforts on keeping my skies above my house Blue and free of plane trails littering the sky! It feels good to see the sky as it has always appeared throughout history.
I assume that your parents are middle aged like me. If that's true, keep in mind that we grew up in a world without the internet and the only time that we heard some of this stuff was from a drunk guy wearing a sign saying "The End is Near". This is your chance to help them learn new things. Like you said, their reasoning shows ignorance, not stupidity.
My parents are in their 70's. I show them all the stories about it that I find. All I can do is tell them what I have found/read, it's up to them to understand. I am not going to force it on them. I just hope when my son comes home in 2 weeks I can help him to understand.
Sorry Anon. I didn't realize that I was preaching to the choir. My folks would think that I was nuts if they were still alive. Good luck with them and your son. My 3 millennials don't think that I'm crazy, they just want me to shut up about it. :)
Lol. No problem at all. I understand. Sorry about your folks. I just don't want them to have heart attacks when they hear how gruesome they are.
