It's sad that folks seem to lose their critical thinking skills when the information they receive fits their personal worldview. Like I said - the empty-headed plastic dolls nod furiously when jostled. And the propagandists love a society of bobbleheads.

There have been useful idiots since there have been propagandists. Which is probably the time the spoken word was developed. But with the internet, the bobbleheaded fools multiply like rabbits.
Now you are calling me a "Usefull idiot." That is not nice of you! I have tried to talk to you like you are a sentient human being...
