Close encounter of the 3(g) kind
3(g) - communication with an (un)intelligent alien being.
I'm a heavy equipment operator and recently had to take my machine to the mechanic for some quick repairs.
While waiting, the mechanic made a comment, I'm not exactly sure what it was, but it set me off.
"I'm not a big fan of Donald Trump," i said and this guy hit the roof!
"Why not?, who did you vote for? Not that Bitch hillary?" And it devolved from there. All the Dems were improperly enriched with special interest money. Hillary sold all our Uranium to the Russians and funneled the money thru the Clinton foundation, yada, yada, yada.
I really had to bite my tongue. I have to work with this guy and really want him to fix my equipment when it breaks. So i said something like "I do my own research and it looks like i need to do more"
"I'll tell you where you can get all the facts, watch Fox News. Those guys dont pull any punches and tell it like it really is." I almost gagged. The whole thing reminded me if a Star Trek Next Generation episode "The Game" where everyone is hooked on this mind controlled game that ends up controlling their minds.
Folks do your own research into the issues and think for yourselves.
