I thought everybody knew this

I've discovered this for myself in recent months.

I read that entire article and now feel even stronger that I was right before even reading it.

I refuse to believe this.

That was a very interesting read. Thank you for sharing it.

It doesn't always have to be political. Remember this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_Quotient_%28IQ%29_and_Browser_Usage)? I'll bet all of you Opera users were dancing in the streets.
Then again, sure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Presidential_IQ_hoax), it can be at times. That's what makes judging truth such a squirrelly thing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_that_I_know_nothing).
