i do this for myself
every time i write, it's entirely for me, not for anybody else
and unfortunately with followers, there's a tinge of i wonder what they'll think

NEW: When Propecy Fails is one of the most famous social psychology books of all time, a look at a small group of UFO believers when the “spacemen” failed to land. I wrote about a new study from an independent researcher who says the book is not what it seems. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
