All the same, it is a fact that conmen can earn a lot of money/gain lots of attention compared to honest folks, and we could learn from their techniques while not necessarily compromising our integrity too much. Look at Atkins, Mercola etc. I loved Aajonus' absurd claims of having a Native American Chief as a friend(or was that the spirit of the Chief? I haven't reread the book for many years), and then there was his comment on spending 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness with coyotes feeding him raw meat.That obvious Biblical ripoff of Jesus' own 40 days and 40 nights was amazingly funny and then there was his eternal claim that he had plenty of scientific evidence to prove his raw diet but that he needed millions of dollars to get them from some other scumbag or whatever nonsense.Brilliant! (thought plenty of scientific evidence exists, of course, against cooked diets)
And there were multitudes of Americans who believed this nonsense.... Incredible! Reminds me of the 1980s where my father once talked about going to Mexico(yucatan etc.) on holiday and meeting American tourists there, with the local guide mentioning the ancient ruins and the tourists all reverentially intoned " von Daeniken..."!
