Stupid Assumptions

In order to get through the day, we make a plethora of assumptions ... some smart, some stupid. Here is my list of some of the more asinine ones (yes, Bill, another list):

- All Hollywood actors are smart
- Socialism/Communism insures equal outcomes
- All American blacks are descendants of slaves
- TV ads tell the truth
- The media is unbiased
- America is a male-dominated society
- All politicians are patriotic
- Man never walked on the moon
- All natural foods are healthier for you
- CO2 causes global warming
- The gay agenda is totally benign
- Marijuana does not alter one's judgement
- 9/11 was an inside job
- Capitalism is spawned out of greed
- Liberals are not prejudiced
- Ronald Reagan was a dunce
- Religions are always a force for good

Remember that when you assume, you are thinking I am going to say "You make an "ass" out of "u" and "me." But then again, I might not ...

Afterward: My wife who tends towards P.C.ness questioned my statement about the stupidity of assuming that the gay agenda is totally benign. May I offer two examples supporting this assertion? #1 The gay tendency toward flaunting public lewdness ... see: Gay Pride-Exposed (and follow the link.) The #2 example is the lesbian couple who have put an Oregon bakery out of business for not supplying them a wedding cake.... see: Fox News Story. It would seem this punishment is a little harsh for a principled religious stand. But this lesbian couple seems far from acting in a benign and forgiving manner. There are many other examples of such vindictiveness.
