And ignorance isn't deplorable until it becomes willful ignorance.

The best we can do is tug rational people (The uninformed or uninitiated) back away from the ramblings of the irrational.

In which case the HB's I am referring to would be the likes of Sibrel and Percy and such.
Sibrel LOVES the spotlight. I'm sure he's in it for the money too.
The mental Illness possibility may apply to some, but I think evidence would be required. Diagnosis.
In this modern age- they treat
everything about human behavior as mental illness and give it a pretty label and come up with pills for it.
I think there is a fundamental difference between the truly mentally Ill (Lieder perhaps? Maybe...?) and the rest. Many folks can learn and overcome their irrationality if they give themselves a chance to. That isn't Mental Illness and should not be addressed as such.
