TreeHuggerWife and The Findhorn Garden

TreeHuggerWife and I are in one of those "Upscale-Resale" book stores a few weeks ago (which are really just well known for their conspiracy to sell "1st Edition" Harry Potter and Robert B. Parker books for $40 a pop), when the following conversation occurs...

TreeHuggerWife: I just found a book that I've always wanted!!
ConspiracyTheorist: How much does it cost?
TreeHuggerWife: It's Only $38
ConspiracyTheorist: What is it?
TreeHuggerWife: It's called The Findhorn Garden and it's about these people who bought some land and "went off the grid" and started a sustainable garden (read: smoked too much pot, lost their jobs, and threw their lives away).
ConspiracyTheorist: (turning to the book I'm perusing about Alien Implants and how to remove them) That's great. You should get it. We'll just take some money out of Peanut's college fund to pay for it.
TreeHuggerWife: Great! You're the best!

Unfortunately, any time TreeHuggerWife buys a book about something that interests her, I'm forced to change my life - This has involved any number of things like changing my diet, donating to some crack-pot cause for Global Warming (myth), use of a Netti Pot twice a day, getting regular high colonics, etc.
A few days later, another conversation...

TreeHuggerWife: You've GOT to listen to this (I know I'm in for another life change when a conversation starts this way)"...Dorothy discovered she was able to intuitively contact the overlighting spirits of plants - devas - who gave her instructions on how to make the most of their fledgling garden...."
ConspiracyTheorist: Are you sure they didn't just read a book on gardening?

I could go on, but what's the point really?

When I read stuff like your blog and other posts, I can't help but be amazed how many points of view are out there. And more than that, that the internet gives everyone a chance to put there viewpoint for the rest of the world to read. What's next?
