Seriously! I am so, so weary about posting things here on FR that require the reader to understand sarcasim, humor or irony.
rightinthemiddle, Your first post said "Be sure to read the entire article."
People here (that usually agree with eachother) over-react too often. Why not start by giving you the benefit of the doubt, reading the article and rebutting it if they disagreed.
Obviously, if they read the article, they'd have gotten it... and agreed.
I encourage you to read the posts...it's a classic example of how people are affected by headlines in the media.
I know people here will agree with the article. However, if we react this way, how will the average joe interpet the headlines? Are we being thorough when we look at the information out there? It seems to me it's what FR does best...ask Dan Blather.
Thinking is not hard work!
Reminds me of the "trick test" a teacher gave us in Elementary school, that said be sure to read all the directions before taking this test. Of course, no one does, they begin to take the test, Not realizing that the last direction , last sentence in the test, is to not answer any of the questions.
