The first class in DETECTING BULLSHIT is now in session...

[AmyStrange]

Everyone, take a seat and listen up.

First of all, not all bullshit is based on bad assumptions, but enough of it is so your first lesson is to...

QUESTION EVERYTHING, ESPECIALLY YOUR ASSUMPTIONS!!!

Granted, some things have to be assumed, or we'd never leave the house.

For example, in order to drive around in a car, you have to assume the other drivers will follow the rules, and I also admit that weeding out the harmful assumptions is not that easy.

A good start would be to question everything I just wrote, and then question your own conclusions.

So, other than that, how's it done?

That's for the next class, WEEDING OUT CRAP, but until then, please, feel free to discuss this amongst yourselves...

I assume that there will be a good deal of distracted drivers out there, and also some who bought their driver's licenses at a yard sale.
