	"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way" - Bertrand Russell;

Logic and reasoning is something that is missing from our conservative politicians especially ("Climate change is crap"- Tony Abbott)
and from contributors at other forums.
It has been replaced by willful ignorance. Willful ignorance, or the arrogance of the stupid who demand that everyone else be as stupid as they are, is what conservatives feed off.
It's what gives the Andrew Bolts and Tony Abbotts of this world undeserved oxygen.
Willful ignorance gives me the runs.

I've never advocated Alcohol, Drugs and Violence to anyone, but it has certainly worked for Me. - Hunter S. Thompson
