<<Unbelievable. And very very frightening!! This doesn't represent a fringe movement but a substantial part of our populace. What has happened to us!>>

My 2 cents...

The ability to think critically is becoming rarer and rarer, without this skill you are easily bamboozled, and once you've been down bamboozle lane it's difficult to find your way back...

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this:
If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject
any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested
in finding the truth. The bamboozle has captured us.
It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves,
that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you,
you almost never get it back." ~Carl Sagan
