Reply #65: hard for you maybe, right there is the condesenion he's talking about.

not everyone has your education or resources. believe it or not, a lot of people didn't grow up with a lot of the opportunites we did. and a lot of people think it's not objectionable to lead a simple honest life, even without the benefit of a higher level of education.

a lot of people are exhausted just trying to keep out of the poor house. they watch or read 10 minutes of mainstream crap a day. and they have no idea how 1/2 the reports they have watched are produced or influenced by big corporations and the government.
a lot of people remember when the media was willing to be more critical of the govt, and i think they assume things are not so godawful, because they would be hearing about it. they are unaware that the rules of the games have changed over the last 20 years.

i don't like the word sheeple, but utter stupidity? oh please. ignorant, unfortunately, and too trusting perhaps. but at least they ain't riding a high horse like you are tyree. if it's so hard for you not to condesend, perhaps you ought to just bite your toungue. because you really can't effectively enlighten people when you have that sort of predudice against them. nor should you try. or are you not "street smart" enough to see, you're shooting yourself in the foot?
