There are a few other stories that talk about the discussion a bit more. Lots of fear about it stealing energy, causing cancer, and the like. This, from a system that’s entirely passively collecting energy that already there. Stunning in its ignorance.

But the best part is, the person who claimed it would suck up all the sun's energy is a science teacher.

Go figure. It’s the death of critical thinking in this country. It has spawned lots of ignorance. Did you know an elected city zoning board in Woodland, NC just banned a solar farm on the grounds that it would steal too much of the sun’s energy, thus putting photosynthesis of plants and crops at risk? Yeah, that just happened in the U.S.A….in 2015. http://www.roanoke-chowannewsherald.com/2015/12/08/woodland-rejects-solar-farm/ Patrick From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com<mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com>] On Behalf Of Rory Conaway Sent: Sunday, December 13, 2015 8:32 PM To: af@afmug.com<mailto:af@afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT weekend edition: Lies, Lies, Lies I think that was misunderstood. My point was, regardless of the candidates, is that the vast majority of voters simply don’t know the facts, don’t care about the facts, and are not prepared to provide a vote that is based on research and education. I can ask 10 people what the Trans Pacific Partnership was about and 10 of them won’t have a clue. Show a picture of Biden to 10 people and I’d be surprised if 8 of them recognize him and his position in the government. Most of them don’t have any idea of our country’s history, could tell you the difference between Democracy, Socialism, and Communism, or even know who fought in World Wars, the Civil War, or even which side won. The fact is, even with all the resources available to the public today, the average voter is more ignorant today than in the past. The all know the Kardashians but few of them could name off their Senators or Congressman. This isn’t partisan, this is the state of our country today. Picking out supporters of any candidate for being ignorant is trite when the entire electorate is clueless.

Trump is appealing to the base fears and anger for a large number of people who believe nobody else is addressing th those concerns. I had to laugh today. I saw some consultant interviewing a bunch Trump supporters. Some lady said she didn't like Obama because he was arrogant and thought to much of himself. I thought, "wait a second. You are a trump supporter?" Doesn't Trump have nearly the entire market cornered on that trait?

All candidates have followers that really don’t know what’s going on so singling out Trump is bogus if you don’t add the voters who thought Obama was going to pay their mortgage (that was a real Einstein moment). With 90% of the people not even knowing who the vice-president is, you can always find idiots who will vote for Mickey Mouse if he said he was for some hot political topic.
