A Conversation With A Rabid Right Winger
Being reminded, again, that deeply entrenched ignorance wears a human face, and transcends all logic and reason, is a profoundly startling experience. Realizing there is absolutely no defense against those who cannot, or will not think, is frightening.

It’s probably for the best that knowing the extent of blind ignorance, as a destructive force, never becomes apparent to those millions who would, if given a choice, remain unaware that such gross ignorance commonly exists.
