Since the eclipse of 1999. It is as if, all humanity has gone bonkers. We have entered a different dimension. People do do some strange things that were not happening before this event. Or maybe just my perception of reality is different to what it was pre-eclipse. As soon as the sky went dark and an air of peace befell. There was a distinct difference noticeable.
