Why Do So Many People Still Want To Believe In Bigfoot? - Smithsonian Magazine

You can almost hear Ben Crair's eye's rolling upon reading his headline. He gets downright tedious with his "skepticism", appeals to authority, and an attempt to psychoanalyze those who, puzzlingly, persist in "believing". Sometimes all it takes is A Standoff Between A Yowie And A Woman Armed With A Cricket Bat to change one's view. Unlike Ben, Sequoyah Kennedy uses facts from the account to call shenanigans. And what about Mark Price's story on Bigfoot — Real Or Not — Is Being Proclaimed The "Official Animal" Of Marion, North Carolina for an upcoming bigfoot festival. Perhaps if some rural town celebrated their science fair by declaring Neil deGrasse Tyson as their Official Scientist, then maybe more people would believe in his versions of "science". Finally if there's no such thing as sasquatch, Virginia, why in sam hill would a Judge Reserve A Decision In A British Columbian Sasquatch Tracker's Court Case? Should the case go to trial, as Jennifer Saltzman writes, Todd Standing claims his evidence will be compelling and substantial. As for the long-awaited answer to Mr. Crair's question, "Because it's fun and pisses you off." (CS)
