The thing that knows no bounds, knows no equal. The thing that can never be eliminated or destroyed.
The thing people will sometimes fight to the death for. The thing that can sometimes blind us to reason.
The thing we realize surrounds us in our everyday life if we only bother to look for it...yes, I am indeed talking about human stupidity.

You think the Oil leak is funny?
Weird sense of humour in my opinion.
"That's funny, good one Raven." means that her post was funny, what she said, how she wrote it.
"I thought you were going to say "Crude Oil"!" means that she could have been talking about "crude oil" instead of "people's stupidity" and it would make perfect sense to me.

I wouldn't see that as being funny.
But feel free to interupt anytime. 😉
Do you really think that you need to interpret for me? 😛

That's funny, good one Raven.

For those of us not yet afflicted, I say to you, my friends - stay strong! Always remember, it will only infect you if you let it.

Originally posted by ChessPraxisenlightenment and ignorance are inverse proportions, ones mind can be infinitely small as well as infnitely large. Sort of like the ph scale. acids are the opposites of bases, yet both are corrosive😛

This way while knowledge is power, it is ignorance that spreads...
