You know what the worst thing is about the internet? It gives you concrete proof that your fellow citizens are as ignorant as you’ve secretly suspected they were all along…

[Not only ignorant, but stupid and bigoted.–Joe]
Funny words from somebody who is inclined to be bigoted and self-important, often in a rude fashion.
Tom; read the linked post. Seriously. The quote makes sense. We could make a very long list of things people believe that are provably (and very easily proved with the slightest effort) wrong. Yet millions of people continue to believe them and act on those beliefs. Whether the person reporting this phenomenon is a bigot, or is self-important, in no way alters the reality of it.
I read it. I just find the source of the quote amusing. I’m entitled to be as childish as Tam, aren’t I?
Regards,
Tom
