What's the point of this? There's ill-informed people on both sides of the political spectrum, this shouldn't be anything new.

I see what you did there, Ukkyo.

What's that you say? Humans have highly selective memories, AND they aggressively filter out information that contradicts their preconceived notions? Tell me more.
Francis Bacon (allegedly) said:
In the year of our Lord 1432, there arose a grievous quarrel among the brethren over the number of teeth in the mouth of a horse. For 13 days the disputation raged without ceasing. All the ancient books and chronicles were fetched out, and wonderful and ponderous erudition, such as was never before heard of in this region, was made manifest. At the beginning of the 14th day, a youthful friar of goodly bearing asked his learned superiors for permission to add a word, and straightaway, to the wonderment of the disputants, whose deep wisdom he sore vexed, he beseeched them to unbend in a manner coarse and unheard-of, and to look in the open mouth of a horse and find answer to their questionings.

And that's why we are a republic and not a democracy.

Democracy counts heads, but it doesn't take into account what's in those heads.
