What Makes Us?

What is it about humans that makes them think they know what they don’t know? I mean, when there is absolutely beyond shadow of doubt that someone has no knowledge of something, they are positive they know all about it.

For example, the shooting in Florida - the black teenager and the neighborhood watch guy. I don’t know what happened there. Neither do you. If you do, the police would like to talk to you. Yet, we have people protesting in the streets, radio and television news coverage, Hollywood people and even the man in the White House saying they know what happened. Reality is they want whatever they think to be right. Folks, it don’t work that way.

I read recently read a report that stated, "the dumb don’t know they’re dumb." Please! There is enough stuff to be dumb about. Unless you were there, talked to the paramedics, examined the evidence and spoke to any witnesses, wake up. You don’t know what happened. Even if you did all these things, you still may not know.

Oh well, I suppose we will have to wait for something new to happen so the news hounds (not journalist) will have something else to chase.

I wish they would chase their tails for awhile.
