I think I believed it as a kid, but still questioned little things when others didn't. This added up. Truly disappointing, I admit I wanted it to be real. Couldn't believe virtually EVERYONE was that easily programmable. Didn't think I was special enough to see things differently and thought I was off base or mistaken at first. Further research suggests otherwise. I didn't ask to be part of this rare breed, but I am and it cannot be helped.
