The day after President Trump’s 2017 inauguration, Peter McIndoe was on a rooftop in Memphis and heard demonstrators below. So, he decided to join the crowd, carrying a sign with the most ridiculous phrase he could think of: “Birds Aren’t Real.”

They left out that drone birds are charged by sitting on power lines. True genius.

It's a great episode to show how the human condition has a herd mentality. And how critical it is to teach kids to be logical and understand how mass think is a thing. The most absurd can be made 'real' when it is constantly said - kind of like advertising and police interrogations, IMHO.

@@ktsig287 Katie, are you going to be surprised when God does exactly what He said he's going to do? We have no right to categorize human life. If we take human life unjustly we will answer to their Creator. But it's okay, because there is no creator. The public schools were correct. We are merely hairless animals that have randomly evolved in a meaningless and uncaring universe which are destined to die and decompose into dirt... If the public schools were correct than there is no basis for valuing human life at age or stage of development... The life you devalue is your own.
