@farmerman,

If that is true fm you should seek advice. Have you not tried having your house flooded half way up the stairs? How about small farmers slowly going bankrupt due to the machinations of the European Agricultural Commission, and the banks, who want large farms and are probably right to do so from their own point of view.
I dare speculate that most of them, if not all of them, would be very happy to get depressed at how many people still deny the concept of a 4.5 Billion year old planet Earth and an evolved order of life on it. Bite your hand off they would to get at depression stimulation of that order.

They must find it jolly good fun. Get your kicks on Route 66-- you know. Route 54 didn't rhyme you see. Put some bleachers in the sun--have it out on Highway Sixty Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa000000000ne.
They probably only deny the concept of a 4.5 Billion year old planet Earth and an evolved order of life on it when asked about it. The rest of the time they do other things. Sorting out the pipeline leases for example. Getting dressed up. Networking. Bride captures. Squirming in the pew when the pastor lectures them on the evils of man. It's endless. Week in week out, year after year, a good turnout at the funeral, and in all that time the concept of a 4.5 Billion year old planet Earth and an evolved order of life on it probably never enters their heads. Except when asked about it by a gump.
With $4.5 billion being chickenfeed these days it might be a bit scary to think about it too much.
