Not sure why squirrels are the default headline animal

newsies hold a grudge. the Charlotte Observer is still blaming a squirrel for a press outage in November 2006. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/0 ... wKm0UtX_Wx
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
