I don't think there's something "not right" with those people, Soph, it just kind of surprises me momentarily when I encounter it, that's all...because it seems so natural to me to have awareness of "past" lives in other times and places.There have been numerous civilizations where everyone considered reincarnation a given, and I guess I am strongly tuned in to that view of things.
Democracy is a situation where we all have the right to be harmlessly crazy in our own particular way...and have fun doing it. :-)
