I was at the library the other day when this young, rather annoying skinny Hispanic guy started talking to me about this society. I will admit, I will sometimes open my mouth to strangers and talk about things that shouldn't be discussed: Politics, religion, and old girlfriends.
I was polite and agreed with some of the basic things he said about the society. Sometimes a guy needs to be agreeable just to keep the glazed crazy eye from a stranger in check.
He wanted me to decode the book for him. I was like, "What the heck are you talking about." I will not waste my time decoding a monster of a book that I have no interest in reading. You bought the book, you decode it. There are other books out there that I would rather spend my time decoding than this one.
The guy could not even pronounce the society. It sounds like--noo-VOH. He said Nova.
He then went on and on about mind control and how the government and religion does this, does that, and screws people over, yadaydayda. There are plenty of cheap books out there that will tell you that. Big deal.
Paying over a hundred dollars for a book that isn't required reading for a college course is straight out stupid. The next day he started in on me again, asking me for money. That is when my blood pressure rose ten points. I asked him why should I give him money? Is this book some kind of busines opportunity? He was so incredibly cryptic in what he replied back that I had to tell him to keep his distance from me. He said, "No, No, No. It is something else." I said, "What is it then?" After having a similiar variation of this conversation with him, I gave up. What a sad person he is.
The problem with scams like this one is that sometimes they will screw up people who are looking for hope. They may be harmless to most people, but to a dumb ass like this guy, life can become even more crippled.
