re: Actually, it makes no difference
It's a little sad, actually. If it were just about discussion boards, it wouldn't be a problem. You're right that I'm not going to change the world here. But people who make decisions out there are thinking the same way. Who CARES about the facts?
Here on the HZ it's all academic. But when someone is teaching my kids that all the polar bears are dying, or that the oceans are going to drown the cities, or that America is why the world is in such crappy shape, it should matter that those are lies.
And while I'm not going to change the teaching system by posting about these things here, I'd at least feel a bit better if others agreed that the truth matters.
In a democracy, ignorance isn't a luxury we can afford any more.
