Americans Think Foreign Aid Consumes 1/3rd Of GNP. This Percentage Is Totally Hallucinated. Nevertheless, This Preposterous % Is What The Dimwits Believe. They Believe It Because They Don't Read And Don't Know How To Read With A Discerning Eye. Indeed, Many Of "The Benighted" Don't Read At All. And When They Do, Their "Reading List" Is All "Confirmation Bubble" Bullshit. They Live In The Dark Because They Don't Want Any Light That Will Oblige Them To Think. Bertrand Russell Observed That "People Would Rather Die Than Think. And Many Do." In Their Cave-Dark World, The Trolls Want Visceral Inflammation Immeasurably More Than They Want Knowledge Or Truth.
