If ignorance really is bliss...

...this guy has to be about the happiest guy in the world. I don't go political often, and no matter what side of the line you are on, the stupendous leaps of faith, ad hominem proclomations, apples to oranges comparisons and a fundamentally rich ability to shun critical thinking makes some people literally stand out. Making critical commentary was a rich tradition, now it is sadly wanting. A person with even a modicum of critical thinking skills can rip drivel this to shreds. It serves no one when we sit silently and allow fools to take up our causes and become our leaders. Ya know? (political rant over)
Was 9/11 really that bad? - Los Angeles Times: "It also raises several questions. Has the American reaction to the attacks in fact been a massive overreaction? Is the widespread belief that 9/11 plunged us into one of the deadliest struggles of our time simply wrong? If we did overreact, why did we do so? Does history provide any insight?"
