Unfortunately, some people are as neuron-paralized by this religion
as by many others. The example I've finally taken to using to
explain the difference is as follows:
"Hmm.. you have 3 different ID's that say you're Jeffrey Dahmer(*).
I guess it IS ok to lend you a steak knife...."
That usually gets their attention...

use Hannibal Lecter instead...
