It's a brave thing to reject superstition, conventionality, and powerful authority structures in any society. Those who do so take considerable risks.

Then too, one can be skeptical about almost anthing, can't one? One person is skepitical about the accuracy of private UFO sightings, another is skeptical about the government's official stated view of those sightings. :-)

And is it "skeptic" or "sceptic"?????? ARGH!
