Last night I was contacted to go to the library and look for a certain book. When I got to the library I was appalled to find this book in the fiction section. I immediately went over to the librarian with the book and asked "how can this book not be considered nonfiction?" The book was entitled "The Cat in the Hat." She told me that it is not real. I said that it was. I told her how the Cat in the Hat telepathically contacted me the previous night and told me that he was real and that he lived a million light years away. He told me that he contacted Dr. Seuss telepathically about this event in his life and that is where he came up with the story, whether he realized it or not. I told her that if she could not prove me wrong that it had to be true. She told me that I was crazy. Why do you think that people choose to reject the truth?

They felt sorry for you and did not want to call the authorities.
But really--I know that you were just messing with the librarian's mind.
Here is one that drove my children wild.
If we agree on two things=
My thumb is the center of the universe.
My thumb never moves.
Then I would wave my thumb around and say
"See-everything is moving, including you."

When I was in grad school there was a guy who used to come to the music section and every day he would check out the opera "Hansel and Gretl". He would listen to it in a booth while he was wearing headphones.
Then one day he had been listening for a while, when everyone in the music area was startled to hear his voice suddenly cry out "MY GOD, SHE'S GOING TO *EAT* THOSE CHILDREN!"
Is your library story true? That poor librarian.

Well, you can get angry and argue with the library.
But its a large institution and you're just one person, so you won't win the argument.
Just like challenging the church on creationism, you can't win - logic can't change people's minds when they are 'indoctrinated' in the way of the institution.

People have freewill and by having so they have the option to believe or not to believe, be it the truth or a falsehood. However, what one believes does not in actuality make it a truth. The truth remains the truth whether one believes it or not.

Dam librarians....they are only good for one thing!
To Awesome: Cataloging books, what else? General contracting has nothing to do with it but I can't shake the tail.

I have no idea why she rejected the truth. I should follow you Cat in the Hat and do its bidding.
