Snorting Milk From My Nose!
The youtube video of the recent Penn and Teller show on Greenie idiocy is all over the blogosphere, so you’ve probably seen it (I haven’t, because I watch the show, so I don’t know if the youtube video is the whole show or not). Where do they find these people? We have this scam artist eco-anxiety counselor who has these “patients” — actually, maybe those sneer quotes aren’t appropriate, because these idiots really do need psychiatric help — and to keep them in touch with Mother Earth, she gives them a rock to put in their pockets.
Yes. A rock.
What’s got me howling and groaning and laughing and fearing for the future are what these idiots are saying.
“I feel grateful, because I know that whatever happens tomorrow, there will always be a rock, or sunlight, or a breeze, or the moon.”
“I’ve got this connection with rocks, so whenever I’m by a rock holding it, I feel grounded.”
“I’m feeling relaxed and kinda calm, and I’m pretty excited about this rock as well.”

If he got that excited over a rock, wait until he sees the lovely padded cell they put him in.

Probably the same ones who had pet rocks as kids. Excited about a rock? Hoo boy…..

What I want to know is this:
July 30, 2008, 1:36 amHow much dough did these guilt-ridden suckers pony up for this “therapy?!”
I’m clearly in the wrong line of work–all I have to do is get some rocks, some windchimes, build a labyrinth in a vacant lot, and I’m ready to go!

This is Neo-Paganism. It’s the new Spirituality. These folks are having spiritual experiences - and people can sound really dumb when they talk about spiritual experiences to folks who don’t share the spiritual base.
What is ironic is that these same folks often mock the spiritual traditions of Christians. These are the no-prayer-in-school folks.
Maybe we should have a law that prevents them from talking about their rock in schools.
