Stop reading now if you are trying to avoid thoughts of the craziness that politics have become (Sheyl, this means you).
Ever since the McCain camp chose Sarah Palin to be the VP running-mate, I've been fundamentally disturbed, and yet, I haven't quite managed to find the words to describe why she disturbs me. The best I was able to put it was that I didn't understand half of the country's mindset, that I didn't understand why the American people weren't more outraged at the republican party that they chose this sham of a national-level political leader.
In THIS article, though, Sam Harris articulates my feelings about Sarah Palin precisely. So I thought I'd pass it along to you guys (those of you that didn't stop at the politics warning, that is).

Yeah, that WAS a pretty good article, wasn't it. :-)
Several years ago, I read an article in a science magazine. They had surveyed people about how smart they were. The less intelligent a person was, the more inaccurate was their self-assessment. Most of those people thought they were very smart. The smarter a person was, the closer their self-assessment was to their actual degree of intelligence. Now, back to Sarah Palin.
THAT's SCARY
