In fact, it has to be at least twenty suckers per minute based on how many people fall for stupid stuff. In the past these people were sold snake oil, nowadays, it's things like global warming and government conspiracies that they're being sold. The latest one I've just become aware exists is the chemtrails conspiracy. Forget the reasons for the different snake oils we receive on a constant basis - it's either for money or for misdirection - the real fight is to get people educated to the point where they are questioned what they are told.
