I find particularly amusing the degree of certainty in some peoples convictions as though they have a total understanding of the world. To them it would appear everything is simple, and it is only those that hold other views who are sadly misguided on matters of politics, religion, or any moral issues. O how blessed to be so sure of everything and that you are right, it must be a wondrous state to exist in, and other mere mortals like myself can only wonder at their awesome powers and infallibility. If there is dissent they have only to repeat themselves or shout louder.<\/p>\n<p>Strangely away from the world of the net and the LCD screens this approach does not seem to work in quite the same way.
