The balloon-boy saga was a hoax. I can't imagine. I so feel for the children who are victims of their own parents... young, impressionable children, used in a serious plot of wrongdoing. The rescue workers occupied therein might have been desperately needed elsewhere. Joe immediately questioned the story, upon its release; I believed it. These are not times for gullibility. But, how do we know what to believe; what not to believe? What happened to the code - the one to live by?
