Lost in the mall at age five – the universal American false memory. But it actually happened. Mothers were persuaded to ‘lose track' of their children for up to an hour, while Mall security escorted the boys and girls to secret re-education centers deep below the anchor department store.

Don’t you know? – you were one of them. … [Read more...]

Every day, we conspirators signal to each other: a word, a wink, a secret handshake, passwords like “Hi, there,” or “How y’all doin’?” or a knowing nod. Just normal behavior, doesn’t it seem like?
