Reading something like this
reconfirms my suspicions I had earlier in my life that I should hold no hope for humanity (and yet despite all my cynicism that hope part keeps coming back ).
Anyways, while looking around the Politico blog site since they have excerpts from Scott McClellan's (the former White House press secretary) book, I came across this which puts into context that 10% of the idiots out there who believe anything an email tells them to believe when it comes to Obama/Muslim: 22 percent believe President Bush knew about the 9/11 attacks in advance. 30 percent believe Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. 23 percent believe they've been in the presence of a ghost. 18 percent believe the sun revolves around the Earth. First three dont surprise me. But #4, 18%!!!!????!!!!! I now await for the day when I get burned at the stake for preaching witchcraft, or for someone to try to beat me up cause I stole their soul when I took a picture.
