The war on morons. It's a losing fight.

Oh, I see. You mean the war on politics. 😉
That doesn't have the same tonal quality as A War on the Color Magenta or A War on Little Pesky Bugs.

Originally posted by coquetteI believe it's even more insidious than that. The masses are brainwashed into stupefaction. They've laid the foundation for gridlock, and they hold the key to the schematics. Those that can see through the mirage know that a revolution is futile. They're going to pull the plug. Just a matter of time.

Originally posted by josephwYou sound like a warrior in the multi-front War On Doubt. Religionists, ideologues, spin doctors, cultists, advertising companies, politicians, propagandists... they're all doing their bit to replace healthy doubt with the various Certainties they peddle.
Well ok. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. 😉
