They believe what the Morano-types tell them and that's good enough.<br /><br /><br /><br />Best,<br /><br />DDanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709762632849004871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28837843.post-53330174527278669102012-05-08T04:07:28.678-07:002012-05-08T04:07:28.678-07:00Notice that no one ever accuses Alarmist commenter...Notice that no one ever accuses Alarmist commenters of being paid shills.
