People are, for the most part, incapable of admitting they are wrong. That leads to all sorts of tap dancing, and ultimately less posts. I'm struck by the parallel to Stephen Colbert's shtick about "truthiness" and "thinking from the gut, not the head" as I read some of these posts. The conversation about hunger is a good example of that. It doesn't matter what stats are quoted, what examples are used or what many people see themselves, some people FEEL that hunger is not a problem in the USA, and that opinion is never going to change.

The irony is thick: the whole 'mushy-headed-liberal-that-thinks-with-his-heart' has been stood on it's head.
