Sure they do. And there is a whole class of people who don't know it.

Anybody with what has been, to date, a one-way communications system is clueless. Clergy, stepping outside the realm of theology, don't know that at least half a dozen members of the congregation are thinking, "bulls--t" and are ready to tell their friends. Reporters, who think anybody who objects is nuts and thus only nuts object, don't have a clue that their shortcomings, deliberate and otherwise, are visible.

Teachers, who can flunk a student for the wrong attitude, don't know how many kids are pretending to believe, while snorting in derision after class.

Politicians have the same view as reporters. Only nutcases object, so any objection is from a nutcase.

p>Things have changed and the class of people who didn't get it show signs of disorientation. br> -- Richard A. Aubrey, Jr. /p> p> Excellent article. Can it really be that these people are so isolated and so unused to using their own gray matter that they require an "expert" to tell them the sun is shinning? Evidently! My spouse or myself of done most of the things listed in the article. Kind of sad -- they have eyes but cannot see; they have ears but cannot hear; they have a mouth but cannot speak; they have a brain but cannot use it unless someone else tells them when, how and why. If that is the world they live in then no wonder their collective noses are in the air. After all we don't have "handlers" so therefore they take it upon themselves to "think" for us. br> -- unsigned
