When I see the hysteria these talking heads (and politicians) are generating, I can't help but think of the witch trials or the scene from Frankenstein where the villages storm the castle with their torches and pitchforks. Ignorance isn't bliss, it's dangerous.

Could be...but then, I'm just a one man 'industry' who doesn't allow on the gubermint for support. I lack the social and/or political influence to effect change...and frankly, I'm unconvinced that any group of people, regardless of how well meaning, has the strength to oppose the momentum of the mass of humanity set in motion some time ago. Physics teaches that if we're to change the direction of any mass in motion, it must be met with an equal amount of energy. Frankly, what I see is energy so diverse and fractured that uniting enough to effect ANY change is going to take a natural cataclysm.

And I was raised in the belief that a pebble can change the river's direction.
I dunno....I recall a television created monster of a decade or so ago - Morton Downy, Jr., Morton the Mouth. He managed to hit the same hot issue buttons time after time and was a bit more 'hard hitting' than say, Geraldo or Jerry Springer. I suspect you're right...people like Beck the Brick and oxyRusty Limpballs will eventually fade into their own sewage....if we can just keep pointing out their incredible lies.
