4. I tend to agree...

I admire you so much for your tireless efforts to educate people, w8liftinglady. :)

Still, it does feel like people are simply going to see what they want to see, and hear what they want to hear. That's why Fox and Rush & Company are so effective: they say what a certain percentage of the population wants to hear, facts be damned.

It's a matter of choosing which world we want to live in: one filled with hatred and fear, or one of positive intent, evolving and progressing with positive action.

They're creating their own reality, rewriting history, etc., and I don't choose their world.

Nor do I choose to try to educate them any longer.

They can choose differently...it's up to them.

:hi:
