stupidity considered hurtful
http://phibetacons.nationalreview.com/po…
A spokesperson for the Food Collective says, “no one should have to have contact with people whose views they find hurtful.”
I guess this means that I will no longer speak to just about anyone.
Oh, wait.
They said “hurtful”. I thought I read “stupid”.
OK, well then, I guess I’ll still have contact with the full panoply of humanity.

By “full contact”, do we mean beating the stupid with sticks(note: Sticks to have “louisville” branded into them)?

“Every man… should be periodically compelled to listen to opinions which are infuriating to him. To hear nothing but what is pleasing to one is to make a pillow of the mind.” — St. John Ervine

Somehow this reminds me of someone who was offended by my opinion (not, he scrupulously disclaimed, by my expression of the opinion) that the benefits of education accrue mostly to the student rather than to Society.
