** 09-Aug-2021 World View: Coddling idiots
You make a very good point. I'm 77 years old and really pissed off
that I'm still alive. Ornery is a mild word for what I feel. 20
years ago, I might have coddled an idiot for fear that I might need
him in ten years. But today I know I won't need him in ten years
because I'll be dead (I hope). So if I do a lot of research and
someone ignores all that research and just says "I'm skeptical," after
doing no research whatsoever but going on "feelings," then I have no
need or desire to coddle.
