Trusting the general public in such an area rather speaks for itself

as does a belief that the real authority is or should be in the hands

of the public at large. The vast majority in the US believe in

demons, can't find Iraq (Brazil, India, Russia(!), etc.) on a world

map, read less than one non-fiction book in their lives after

schooling, barely understand simple algebra and so on. Your faith

in them is touching but the masses really do no deserve this sort of

credit. Failure to understand this or any other unpleasant facts

will not serve us.
