14. to me, the weirdness is the disconnect

...and this idea that I need to do something more to tell people or convince them of the danger they're experiencing right now.

They didn't listen when we warned them every way possible, and I'm not one to argue this crap to that we didn't say something or the other to make it clear enough for anyone to understand.

They didn't want to listen or understand. Now, maybe they do. But I'll not be told that we didn't say enough, or said the wrong thing to someone.

That's counter to the reality that I live everyday in my 65 years as a human being on this planet.
