And their arrogance will be their downfall.

I often tell people around me that I don’t have time to waste listening to people who think I am stupid, especially the media. And much less vote for those who do, which includes all Republicans, and many Democrats unfortunately.

Still, sometimes I feel like a lot of us here are too aware of things for our own good. Maybe it would be a blessing to be blissfully ignorant, just grazing though life until someone puts me in a chute and hits me over the head with a sledgehammer. Never saw it coming.
