Yes. Years ago I was flipping channels on TV & landed on a Nova science program where a fellow with a deep south US accent was talking about string theory. I could not take him seriously. I kept thinking he'd start tohkin bout grits.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

It's like when I have to do conference call with our out sourcing companies in India. A lot of time is wasted due to lousy communications. We have a much easier time face to face where body language and watching lips facilitates better communications.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit.

Same deal when encountering someone wearing an AC/DC shirt or a Che Guevera shirt."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
