Conspiracy

William was serious. He was always serious. Maybe earnest describes him better, especially when making a point.

"Look, it sounds like a nutty conspiracy, but maybe not. Certain candies, yeah, maybe. Like Jujubes? Remember those? Tell me evil dentists didn't concoct a profitable scheme. Create a kid candy, hard as little lumps of granite, and add bright colors and flavor. The children will break all their teeth! Damn brilliant, if you ask me. Big Hunk, Bit-o-Honey, same. Didn't dentists invent Halloween? Evil!"

The others just stared, silent. Someone then mentioned the recent snow, and climate change.

"Climate change? It always does.", William again. "They want it to stay the same? Create more volcanos than Starbucks? That's what happens quick, you know? Without the climate changing?" William was serious. He was always serious.
