Long gone from the front pages, they'll get no more comments. You can read the comments and get an idea of how many readers saw the posts. I didn't know what to expect, and thinking back, something interesting revealed itself. There was some disagreement about the legitimacy of elections. There was a broad swath of readers whose rigid thinking couldn't allow them to consider energy could be supplied by anything other than petroleum. That was the worst of it, that people refuse to think freely and own their minds; however, it was no surprise. The biggest surprise was with number three: no one argued the assertion the government wants to attack civilians for no real reason beyond the joy of doing it. The concept appears well recognized and accepted. I expected that point would be the most argued, not the least. Therein lies the fallacy of assuming something, anything, you think or believe you know, is right.
