...or maybe something else (Jeebus?), but these people's brains are seriously broken.

I've been calling them The Upside-Down People for a few years now.
Everything they say and do and believe is upside-down to reality.
But it's just NOT funny anymore.

But, there is hope.
These kids today, "this... generation that we’ve been dealt," is actually extremely cool.
I'm 50 and I know a hell of a lot of 25 year-olds, and for the most part, they are terrific.
I think that as long as they stay away from the high-fructose corn syrup and the fundie whack-a-doodles, we'll be OK in the long run...
