I'm probably not as skeptical of certain things as most skeptics are, but I certainly see how sheer irrationality is a major factor in many people's thinking, including the thinking of many DUers.

There was one of those periodic marijuana threads, and someone posted that marijuana was the most useful plant in the world. I asked, "more useful than wheat?" and the poster said it was. Then the thread was locked.

So I posted a separate thread as a poll, sort of as a reality check, asking which is more important wheat or marijuana.

For much of the first day, marijuana had the lead. Now wheat has a slight lead.

WTF???????????

Do 40% of DUers really think marijuana is more important than one of the major food crops of humanity? I can't begin to fathom their mindset.
