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.
