And there is the fourth group that has the same supposed bloodline but remains highly skeptical of it and thinks that those families that are running around wearing it on their lapels are rather pathetic. I think I'd fall under that category. I recently read an interview with Boyd Rice of Dagobert's Revenge where the subject of his "descent from jesus" comes up. Same bloodline from the names he has mentioned as my own and yet his attitude about it is just laughable and more than mildly appalling. Makes me want to slap people that think it's so fantastic absolutely silly for two reasons: 1. it's not even proven and 2. hello? there are a million others with the same bloodline...I find it pretty disgusting.

I agree. I just really despise websites like the reptilian agenda that would make some believe that maybe my children are aliens and need to be cleansed off the face of the earth. There are alot of crazies in this world and it seems so unduly seperatist...especially for something that is all about genetics and NOT aliens. That's why I despise websites like that. Being a particuliarly paranoid mother (at least I admit it), I'd hate for somebody to look at my son and go o negative aryan reptile boy!!!! kill!! It's ludicrous but people are really nuts and actually believe this sort of thing.

Yep, red hair and left handed. Bad tidings indeed once upon a time. I developed pure white streaks in my hair when I was around 14 years old. It was amazing how many people commented on my white locks and muttered about it being a mark of a witch. All I could think was...this is the 20th century and you're thinking like it's the dark ages...Now that I'm older and have been prematurely graying for about 8 years, I don't hear the "mark of a witch!" comments anymore. They just assume it's gray hair :) It's very weird how these old stigmas stick around, isn't it?
