at some point in all of our lives, we were gullible and stupid and uneducated enough to believe in santa claus too.
yes, we believed that a single obese man in a sleigh pulled by flying moose with lit noses could visit one billion homes in a single day, keeping 30 to 50 bil presents on board.
We ignored physics, common sense, and the words of other kids who could provide empirical evidence (you know, closets full of toys from their parents which later read 'santa' on the tag) to the contrary.
Why?
Because our parents - sworn to protect and provide for us - just couldn't do such a thing. So we continued visitng the mall and sucking up to an all-knowing, yet half-drunk temp retiree asking what we want for Christmas... you're telling me he sees 3 billion kids being good or bad at any moment, yet he doesn't have a clue what toys we prefer?
Anyway, the santa story is a hell of a fairy tale that.... (drum roll please)... kept our young selves in line and behaving according to the social norms required for a functional society with its own goals. (Hope I didn't lose the mouth breathers there).
Ho Ho Ho. 911 CTers are all nuts. Cause the TV (which we admit lies nonstop) told us so. Cause our leaders (which we all admit are nonstop liars) told us so. Cause we just know it, right?
