The more I realize about how very greedy, cheating, conning a lot of the human race is the less I wish to go outside and the more afraid I am of dealing with very common things. This makes me sad, though--I'd have thought surely Mr. Maher would have known this ages ago and he's never seemed the sort to be afraid to be unpopular in his observations No one is perfect, I guess.

EDIT: Though it does make me glad in an ugly sad way that SOMEONE has said this on television, even if someone I admire immediately bitched her out for it.
