Am I that different ??

There are times when I wonder if I'm the same species as other people.
People display an astonishing inability to think, a tendency to reject the new because it's new, a dogmatic belief that their own morality is the correct one (despite being unable to articulate or defend it). They have no desire to learn about a subject before expressing their opinion on it. They accept what is presented in the newspapers as fact, (no matter that one paper contradicts another; they're both right).
Is it me? Is it just me who thinks that Rupert Murdoch's influence on people is the saddest indictment of modern life?
I believe that thought is the great strength of humanity. That the ability to have ideas, to explore and test those ideas, is one of the most precious gifts we have.
Sorry. Sorry. I don't know what came over me. I'll be OK in a munute.....
BAAAH. BAAAH. BAAAH
