Don’t you find it fascinating that many people are so impressed with the unimpressionable? Now, before you trot out your arsenal of self-defenses and enter that safe haven known as denial, be it known to you that there are some people more enlightened than me who are of the same opinion. Of course I realize that, having said that, that people who should read this will not even be aware of it. Ignorance, it is said, is bliss. That may be so but it is a false bliss.
