I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV, but I believe there is such 
a mental illness where a person basically tells the same lie long 
enough, they themselves begin to believe it to be true.  I also think 
Gates has been down this path so many times, he can't find his way back. 
  I don't think he'll ever recognize the truth.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
