Fox News is Corrupting our Elderly

You know how you hear people say that such-and-such or so-and-so is corrupting our youth? I would say that Fox News is corrupting our elderly.

Public/Science Opinion Gap

There is a major opinion gap between the general public and scientists on key issues according to the Pew Research Center:

But I find it interesting to note which issues they differ on? For example, are there members of the general public that don't believe in electrons? Have you ever heard of anyone protesting the existence of UV rays or black holes? I think that mostly the general public and scientists are on the same page except when it comes to issues involving religion (evolution) or big money (global warming, fracking).

Boston Massacre

After the Boston Massacre the British soldiers were given a fair trial. Their attorney was John Adams. Do you think today those soldiers would get a fair trial? Or any trial? Or would they go straight to gitmo?

John Brown and Robert E. Lee

John Brown led an armed uprising to free the slaves. He was hung for treason - by Robert E. Lee.

Rober E. Lee led an armed uprising to keep the slaves.

Between the two men, Brown and Lee. Who killed more men? Who's cause was more just?

Who do you think deserved hanging more, Brown or Lee?

Abe

There was a man who heard voices in his head. The voice said: kill your son. So the man began preparations to kill his son. Then, just before the deed was carried out, the voice told him to stop. So he stopped.

Imagine you walked in on someone attempting to kill their own child. What would you do?

Today we would put a man like this into the nut house. But this guy went on to father 3 of the most popular religions on the planet: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
