sawylPeople are dumb.
"People are dumb. They'll do anything to avoid facing the facts, to avoid having to act, anything to avoid having to put aside their blanket of self delusion and look life in the face. They don't want to have to think, don't want autonomy, want to be told what to do, want to have someone else take responsibility. They want bread and circuses, they want their zeppelin size sofas, their cable TV, their caravan sized fridge, their ready meals. They want to believe the absurd on the weakest of evidence, they want to ignore the truths that look them in the eye, want to put their faith in crystals and energies, want to deny the unfairness of it all, they want to watch the shadows and ignore the sun."
How worryingly true.
