I just found this on craigslist. How about writing something?

Ever been Completely Wrong?

Hi.

If you've ever been wrong, I want to hear from you.

I'm interviewing people all over the country who devoted themselves to something--really believed in it--and then discovered they were wrong. In a job, religion, a financial investment, or a relationship-- if you've been wrong, I want to hear about it. I want to hear about how you dealt with disillusionment and got past it (or didn't).

This is for a nonfiction book. If you'd like to share your story, email me at CompletelyWrong@gmail.com.

If your story is included, you'll be paid...

1. I've been wrong and you know it ... haha....
shhh... What a great idea, go for it. Spill your guts, if you voted for * in 2000/2004. You can start with "I realized that I'd become powerless over my delusions and fell victim to people, places and things associated with fellow travelers."

3. Cool! I am going to write to him. I didn't really love Bush but

I did used to believe in elections and that evildoers did 911 and that we were the ones who get to say who can have weapons and defend themselves etc. Well, I didn't really think about the last one, that that is what was our value, but that is the point, I didn't think about it, so when they were talking about Iraq and WMD even when I knew they didn't have any it was still a while before I thought hey wait, so what if he did? Like what is it that we have? And start to realize that everybody has the right to self defense whether we agree with them about their politics or their religion or whatever, even if they are Iraq or Palestine or whatever, anyway thanks for the link, I am going to write him a letter tomorrow.

4. Cool. And guess what? You're wrong again!
It's a "she."

Maybe you can write that one up and get paid double!

Seriously, though, I think it's cool that you'll write.

I've been wrong so many times and about so many things there could be volumes written on my wrongness alone.
