I respect Buzz for being who he is, For doing what he did, But Someone has to call it down the middle like it is. Buzz enjoyed his celebrity status and said a lot of crazy bullshit in his old age, And to be honest, I don't even blame the guy, I mean, He only had this one historical claim to fame and he knew he was on borrowed time, He just wanted to turn heads, and make splashes on his way out.
I'm not taking anything away from the man, He's a legendary Historical figure, But he's also a fragile and flawed human being, He said things that possibly he believed to be true, But We have to accept that his mind was already faded by that point. Fame and countless questions from paranormal buffs for decades allowed a fragile aged mind to construct fantasies, Fantasies that he may not have even known were fabricated.
In short, I'm not taking anything away from Buzz, But sometimes we have to step back and realize, Who is speaking to us is a dotterly old man who has dementia and has lost touch.
I know people don't want to see it this way, But, Just because he's a legendary historical figure doesn't mean his mind isn't susceptible to the same conditions that hit our own grandfathers.
