  1. I've noticed the odd emphasis in the MSM to compete for "rightness", as well. A lot of people crave credit for being right "first". hehehe...ok, you got it! Now, take it to the bank, moron! I'd welcome a shift of that focus toward "correctness", which has less of a moral connotation. But, it ain't happenin'. Check Bell curve, Dunning-Kruger, Edward Bernays, etc. You don't stop trying just because you're stupid! Most people are left to their intuition, or, more likely, the opinions of others whom they respect. IOW, most people just don't have a clue what to do. And THAT'S the problem with democracy...and the glory of top-down control.
