Hi Bill!

21 Feb 2017 15:12, from Bill McGarrity -> ED KOON:

 BM> You on your high horse don't have a clue other than your own personal
 BM> bias which, in my opinion, is lacking in both intelligence and
 BM> knowledge of the specific subject at hand.

That in a nutshell is the problem that america faces.
More and more people lack the knowledge and ability to assess facts.
Assessing facts is a hard task, and it costs a lot of willpower.
Parroting somebody else is easy and can give you a nice sense of a group 
membership.
Looking at reality and admitting "i was wrong" is hard.
So many people prefer to live in Lala land, where their opinion is true, no 
matter what the facts tell you.

BTW. I support Ed on jailing "crooked Hillary" not because she is guilty (which 
I cannot asses) but just to have a public debate about such matters.
This will quicken up some urgently needed discussion in your country.
The outcome could be something completely unexpected.

Mr. Trump we heard your "lock her up, lock her up".
Please do not only talk, but let actual actions speak.
DO put her on trial, and if found guilty you can lock her up.

CU, Ricsi
