I live in Honolulu, visit Puna on the Big Island pretty often. Please do not paint native Hawaiians as anti-science, they are not.

Watching videos of the 2nd 911 plane crash into the WTC over and over and over, slow motion, up close seems to have reduced people's capacity for critical thinking to this day.
Suddenly the most paranoid person in any given room was considered a national security expert.
These videos seem to perform the same way.

But I know people who watch them with ghoulish fascination.

Ever work under a little Caesar, a bully?
I am pretty confident a national lottery would pick a better president.
We heard almost identical arguments about blacks in 1948.
About women in combat roles during the 1980s.
About gays in the military since then.
