(6,151 posts)A woman wrote to me once claiming to be an aphid gardener; in the sorry state where I retired for financial reasons only, a typical local bragged to me that his girlfriend had almost made it through 11th grade (not that she learned anything all the while); actually this state has one of the lowest high school graduation rates in the country. Oh, and there's the girl I knew in college - she was a nursing student - who was convinced that DC is located in the state of Washington. When I showed her a map proving otherwise, she just looked at me with a blank stare and said the map was wrong.

Here's an example of their 'reasoning': Obama is Satan, therefore all his supporters (especially YT) are satanists.
There, there, now; there's no crying in politics.
