I have nothing to say except -

If you saw a man selling snake oil in the street, and you heard him say it would cure your ails, then you probably wouldn't believe him.

But -

When you went home, your neighbor for 35 years, who is like a brother to you tells you he bought the snake oil because it will cure all ails, and wants you to buy his bottle so you can see for yourself - would you?

Don't you trust that person? What is the difference between the guy on the corner and the guy living next to you. Snake oil is snake oil.

Maybe it just boils down to everyone wants to sell you snake oil because it will fix everything.

It all boils down to snake oil in the end.

Comments?
