Please be careful, Kishkumen.

You of all people should know that it was asking nasty questions like that when chatting to people in the marketplace of Athens (the ancient Greek equivalent of posting in a discussion group) that got our old friend Socrates condemned to die by drinking hemlock.
Good point! If there is anything that almost everyone, regardless of party affiliation, can agree on, real questions are threatening and must be silenced.
"I have learned with what evils tyranny infects a state. For it frustrates all the virtues, robs freedom of its lofty mood, and opens a school of fawning and terror, inasmuch as it leaves matters not to the wisdom of the laws, but to the angry whim of those who are in authority.”

Here's another big one I forgot:

"My church told me to vote for Idiot, and I never question the dubious ideas my church suggests."
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.
