strange isn't it, but even stranger, its an on topic post.
from an article about thing disappearing from our culture.
"Real people going on game shows. When we were kids, we'd watch 'The Price is Right,' and the contestant would have curlers in her hair -- she'd look like your neighbor next door. Real people got a chance to shine. Now, everyone comes out of some stupid mold from a moronic casting director's idea of what is exciting to watch. All the reality is removed."

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 still can't stand her.

I still like her. I don't agree with everything she believes in, but I think that is part of her point. (sheeples, etc)

I like her as well.
I do get why others don't.

Thanks for that sentiment, Rosie!
Someone going to a game show with curlers in her hair still sounds like a little bit of unreality to me, though.
