Subject: RE: BS: Going to put y'all back in chains
Granted, GUEST, for the most part it is a waste of time and energy—if one's purpose is to try to convert the crap-flingers to the world of facts. It ain't gonna happen.

But my concern is that there are some who, if someone doesn't point out that it's crap, and why it's crap, are naïve enough to accept what the crap-flinger says as actually the case.

If bullshit is not identified AS bullshit, along with WHY it's bullshit, some folks may accept it as Gospel.

Those who delight in spreading propaganda and misinformation would prefer that it go unchallenged.

By the way, I don't devote my life to this sort of thing. I do most of my work, political and otherwise, in the real world. As, I think, do most of us.
