It isnt just an excuse to mock, not that I for one need an excuse for pointing and laughing at people who should know better..

Its how unhelpful they can be. A teacher friend told of when talking of Newtonian concepts, he spoke of the relative weight and constant mass of the astronauts on the moon and one boy pointed his father, who was not to be contradicted, told him it was a desert in Arizona etc. The poor boy ran schoolboy cruelty for months after that.

Granted, I told mine the first wind farms we ever saw were to combat global warming by cooling the fields and that the large black plastic sacks in fields after cutting the hay were in fact sleeping bags for cows on night shift.

The time such things become dangerous is when conspiracy grows legs and muddies the search for truth.

The relatives of Princess Diana and Dodi al Fayed must hurt like fuck whilst irresponsible insensitive bastards enjoy their little games, getting a hard on from upsetting others.
