When nobody listens, truth is spoken less frequently.

The ancestors of Science Deniers.

“The meeting now will come to order. First on the agenda is this idea of making some things called torches and pitchforks.”

“What’s his name again?”

“Copernicus.”

Except, they’re not.

You may not have noticed that we are living in the age of petulant minority rule.

“Next, he’ll be claiming those lights in the sky are NOT campfires of other tribes!”

It’s called the tyranny of the majority.

The majority has turned into a shrinking minority. But they still want to tell others what to do.

Seems the majority isn’t considered legal enough in some places.

We have bigger clubs. Might makes right and political power comes from the barrel of a gun. (When we get around to inventing them and make sure our side has more of them.)

you forgot what happens to the isolated “harmless one”. he begins to doubt his own discovery, or goes mad from isolation.

Like the old saying, “there’s stupidity in numbers”.

Raising the question of which is the worse human condition…The tyranny of the majority?…or The tyranny of the minority?…

It looks like the House in Congress.

One sort of wonders in which direction the flat side spins.

Yet another argument for the Electoral College.

“Where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise.” – Thomas Gray

I didn’t know Copernicus was that old

Make cavemen great again

Nothing wrong with being a science denier! After all, if Science can’t prove it with honest facts, then it doesn’t have to be believed.
