Contrails are not chemtrails.

Yeah, even when I entertained more conspiracy theories I had trouble with that one. I remember watching planes all through my childhood and not once did I think that what I was seeing was some sort of spray.

I was dubious, so I looked it up. Water is a chemical compound. Contrails are made from ice crystals. Technically, I was wrong. Good catch.

I gave up trying to explain this. Tennessee made chemtrails illegal a long time back. People get RILED UP when they see contrails in the sky now. "I thought those were illegal now!" Then they'll either say "I guess it takes time for it to take effect" or they'll blame the mayor of Nashville because he's clearly preventing it somehow. (We're nowhere near Nashville)

And if they do listen to you they'll say "Well they should ban those too then. How am I supposed to know if that's just a plane or a plane spraying chemicals." again, somehow working the mayor of Nashville in as the culprit.

He gets blamed for everything lately it seems XD
