"We are all lumped as Mudcatters. Sorry but that's how it is."

This of course is true, Musket, but when one starts adding stuff to it such as "Mudcatters are all wild-eyed Liberals," or "Mudcatters are all self-taught musicians," or imply such statements, you're walking off the canyon rim and hanging in mid-air, like Wile E. Coyote before he looks down, beads of perspiration break out on his forehead, and he hurtles to the canyon floor.

Flat, unqualified statements like "Christians do or believe this," or "Atheists do or believe that," or any other collective group for that matter, is either sheer ignorance of the subject or lazy thinking.
