Not everybody

Michael Liccione commented on Facebook that, "The most important thing I learned in college is that not everybody who disagrees with me about religion or politics is stupid, evil, or crazy."

That is a valuable lesson, though paradoxically there's far more money to be made (if not necessarily in academia) teaching others that  everybody who disagrees with you about religion or politics is stupid, evil, or crazy. People love to be right, and they hate to think, and they'll reward those who give them being right in exchange for having to think about it.

That said, there sure is a lot of stupid, evil, and crazy out there.

Which brings us to another valuable lesson: Not everybody who agrees with you about religion or politics is smart, good, and sane.
