I started this blog as a Live Your legend Challenge, and this is a topic they want everyone to write about, so there are two things that make me really angry: 1)People who don’t think for themselves.

2)Zucchini.

I know what you’re thinking, another zucchini hater. We’re gonna build a wall to keep them out. But truth is, while there is no reason for zucchini to exist, it can be avoided easily. However, people who don’t think for themselves (which may be an even bigger problem) are all over the place. You can’t avoid them! I once complained to a kindly friend that only one person in ten think for themselves. He replied, “Oh Bill, you’re being way too generous if you think it’s one in ten.”

It’s not that people are stupid, but there is this willful ignorance going around where people will believe a patently ridiculous lie rather than respect a truth that makes them uncomfortable. I have come to think that staying in your comfort zone is the most dangerous thing you can do, for yourself and everybody around you.

Galileo thought that all he had to do was show people the evidence that the earth went around the sun and that would be enough. It turns out that that was a naive point of view. It’s an old problem and it’s getting worse because now moneyed interests can buy very persuasive spokespeople to sway the crowd because the crowd is so easily swayed.

And so it goes.
