I don't know how many other Mudcatters caught this, but here in the US, CNN did a major story last night on the alleged presence among us of "Indigo Children" all of whom were born after 1979 for some reason. They see angels. They are mega-gifted. If you snap a fancy Polaroid of them, they have an Indigo coloured aura. They are supposed to be the next stage in Human Evolution and are here to "save us."

Now mind you, the kids they talked to were mostly obese, ill mannered and terribly self-important. I suppose if I believed I and my kind were here to save the world, I'd have an ego too, but I just don't get why they are all so fat.

Has anybody else heard of this utter nonsense?

It seems that most of these kids have been diagnosed with ADD or have major problems with authority and their parents have seized on this Indigo Kid thing as an explanation for their loutish behavior.

Here are some links:

Indigo Children Psycho babble for believers

So.. supposedly Edgar Cayce predicted all this. Funny, he didn't warn us that these kids would all be FAT.
