I have been thinking along these lines. And I will do a blog or two. Despite the fact that I seem critical of this phenomenon, I am, in fact, supportive. It's just the nutty aspects that annoy me. Also there is a belief that these people are pioneers. I have one more column coming up where I take some of these pioneering notions to task as well as some other over-used commonplaces. And, yes, this is something of an attention-getting exercise. Somebody has to do it.

Ryan sent me the link to Dvorak's comment, and it's important for everyone to note. Part of the fun in life is challenging our beliefs. Don't tell that to the Catholic church, though.
