Baaaa-aaaa-aaaah!
I need to get something off my chest. Inhale… Exhale… OK, here goes. WE ARE MORONS! OK, maybe that’s a little harsh. But honestly, why are so many people so willing to blindly trust whatever they hear, whatever they see on TV, and whatever they read… even when they read it on Facebook?
