        @ScottAdamsSays this begs the question "When and why do people change their minds about things?"

        @ScottAdamsSays By publicly arguing with the incorrigible low-information voter you persuade a few voyeurs.

        @Merkin_Muffly Have you heard of "quantitative easing"? Those people that understand QE* and FED RESERVE knew conditions fair or worse.

        @ScottAdamsSays I do, it usually takes quite a bit of informing though. Also they generally won't note that their beliefs have changed.
