If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Oh what a lovely idea.
It reminds me of what the Pope said when asked if one should give money to people who ask for it. He said yes, and look them in the eye and ask their name. I’ve been trying to do that.

The dumbest thing I've ever bought
was a 2020 planner.
"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

Aww. Good for them! I'm glad they are doing it up right with background checks and training. Many people dress 'scary' (goth, biker, etc..) to protect themselves from bullies. I'm glad to see this social group put to such constructive use.
