It seems that with almost unlimited information at our fingertips, the world's population seems to be content being given information they know to be partially truthful at best.

They also like the ease with which they can "block" the information that contradicts what they want to believe. I was reminded of this when I attempted to vote up the comment of LTC Kevin Broom, PhD below and discovered he had blocked me. Maybe, some day, in another discussion, we can explore why so many with PhD's block me...
