This article makes me wonder a bit.... If one lets bullshit go unchallenged, then that bullshit will eventually be accepted as the truth. Now and again, people who know what they are talking about have a moral duty to take on the Ken Rockwells of the world and tell them that they have at best, a moron's grasp of the subject they have chosen to write essays about. It is moreso important now that Kennyboy spewtypes have access to the internet, and can spread their lies, half truths and misinformaton to a much larger audience than what the nutbar on a soapbox in the Towne Square was able to reach.
