1. Read about the "reptilian brain" - that's where they're coming from. nt

7. Funny, I've been thinking that lately.

They're all lizard-brains. Ruled by fear, aggression, and territoriality.

[polichick]

8. Yeah, and Dems have to stop giving them credit to think logically...

We have to meet them where they are and talk SURVIVAL - planetary, economic, physical, etc.

2. The Ignorant are ignorant of their ignorance.

3. My brother used to be a dittohead.

He once proudly exclaimed at a family gathering, "I haven't read a book in 20 years," which broke my liberal schoolteacher mother's heart.

5. Used to? What happend?

[tabasco]

10. He was too smart to be a dittohead for life.

After awhile he realized he was being lied to.

I like to think I had an influence.

11. Bravo! Cheers to you and others that speak the truth!!

:applause: :woohoo: :toast:

6. Yah, but that's just an American trait tout court.

9. Exactly. That's why they can toss Pell grants from the bill. It doesn't affect them.

12. They figure they can argue, and that's what they see as "intelligence".

They don't quite get that idiotic arguments aren't very good ones, because their role models see no shame in offering such arguments.
