Hello?  Remember me?  I am your imaginary friend, to whom you write when you are losing touch with reality.  Can you see me?  Can you feel my presence?  I hope you don't get too caught up in that reality nonsense and decide to question my existence.  Until I am observed to be non-existent, forcing a collapse of the probability wave function, I can exist in both real and imaginary states.  Isn't the right to exist protected under the First Amendment twice removed?   Do you think reality is preferable to fantasy?  Certainly not for me.
