Reply E Archer, NYC 10/7/13 Same as it ever was. Rational arguments are simply met with targeted hate, name-calling, and other distractions aimed at raising emotional outcries. This is mass psychology 101. Reply Mike, Norwalk 10/7/13 The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over, and over again and expecting a different result. Those caught up in the emotional orgies and hope for a different result are a dummied down majority. SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
