"Suddenly?"
Ignorance and the perpetuation of drivel have been pervasive in this culture for
as long as I have been aware.

The url made me LOL. But, in our litigious society, he *has* to defend
I was annoyed the other day, U of Michigan absolutely denies any

admitting guilt to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
