Critical thinking is a subversive liberal conspiracy.
Huge numbers of Americans simply don't care what the truth is. Truth is boring and hard to learn. Bullshit can take you anywhere.

If someone wants to sunburn their balls and hit themselves in the nuts I am not sure it is a socially good thing to try to stop them.
