You're still equating fantasy to reality, spacemonkey. People don't try to beam themselves from one location to another after watching Star Trek. But they very often in fact do reassess opinions based on whatever bullshit relating to real world issues they get served up. Take yourself, for example. You weren't born this way. And I assume you've managed to make it through life so far without blowing anyone away with a .44 mag despite probably stroking it to more than one Clint Eastwood movie.
How do you reconcile your bizarro, media-fueled worldview with the fact that you don't try to fly around on a broom after watching Harry Potter?
