I don't want to just listen to yes-men and people who agree with me. But damn...I'm tired of having to wade through dozens of posts from people whom I thought I knew, but they now see virtually EVERYTHING as a conspiracy.

"My oil pan leaked! Musta been that mooooooslim next door!"

"A cop shot a guy for shooting a guy who had shot a guy...FALSE FLAG BY OBAMA TO TAKE AWAY OUR GUNS!"

I'm tired of it. Getting kind of depressed...we have become the country of stupid.
