The mechanics of this trip combined with my advancing age have required me to establish a variety of rituals to manage it all. \u00a0Camera, microphone, batteries, mounts, ipad, phone, wallet, notebook, glasses and pen\u00a0are neatly arranged on my person at all times.\u00a0There are a series of, what I am certain are, DSM-IV certifiable OCD behaviors that appear\u00a0like tics to reassure myself all is well.<\/p>\n
In that past, my favorite ritual was one that I did only for my own amusement. \u00a0I kept various lists in the back pages of my notebook to track things that I found interesting. \u00a0‘Best\u00a0specials\u00a0at diners’ by state, ‘felons I have met’ on the bus, and always ‘acts of kindness’. \u00a0Early on, this trip inspired a new list. \u00a0I call it, ‘easily disproved misinformation presented as fact’ and boy, howdy, this one is growing fast.<\/p>\n
In addition to the standard Obama is a Muslim and Hillary is going to repeal the second amendment, I submit the following sampling,<\/p>\n
The joint chiefs have clearly stated that they cannot and will not accept\u00a0Hillary Clinton as President<\/p>\n
Several states already have established key tenets of Sharia Law<\/p>\n
Obama did not win the popular vote in the 2012 election, only the electoral college<\/p>\n
Obamacare specifically does not cover pre-existing conditions<\/p>\n
This list represents the most significant change that I have noted over my three trips. \u00a0The sheer volume of misinformation and the absolute certainty with which they are\u00a0presented\u00a0is stunning.<\/p>\n
Please meet Calvin Craig.<\/p>\n
