Chock Full o’Baloney




Americans are chock full o’ facts, albeit wrong.



Not all information spouted by self-anointed experts is wrong; it is just overly massaged to fit their agendas.



When I was in school, back when we were taught things such as history, English, mathematics, and geography, we also learned science.



Science is the study of varying disciplines regarding the mechanics of life itself.  Chemistry, biology, and physics, are the top three basic sciences that every child should learn, but don’t.



Since the 1970’s “kinda scientists” began to mismanage science lab work.  Guys and gals who could get the attention of politicians discovered outlandish claims regarding science could actually garner taxpayer-funded grants that appealed to the weak minded and non-thinkers.



For instance, for decades, people have been misusing or misunderstanding data as fact.



Too many times I’ve heard the fact: “Most automobile accidents occur within 25-miles from home.”



This statement is used to demonstrate how dangerous it is to drive in cities, where the majority of people reside.



While true, it is not an accurate depiction of road danger.



Most city folk don’t need to drive more than a handful of miles to shop, go to school, or work.  And in the city, it is rare to travel more than a few miles to go anywhere.



Of course most accidents will occur nearby home given those proximities.  On the other hand, rural people must travel upwards of 12-miles to buy gasoline and foodstuffs, making their travel in excess of 25-miles, daily.



Official News Filter
Since there are far more people in the city areas than rural portions of America, the statistics are slanted to make a point.



And now the media are playing fast and loose with the truth to make a point rather than simply report news.



Anarchists who protest with violence are being cheered as protectors of the First Amendment, while protesters on the Right are being fingered as dangerous radicals.



And because of the stupid citizens being produced from today’s schools, this misinformation is being sold as the hard truth.



Most graduated high schoolers can’t provide a definition of Socialism, something the Left desperately want.



Information consumers need to decipher the words they are being fed.



Reader, beware.
