Have you ever gotten sucked into one of those endless "Teach the controversy!" or "You're afraid to look at both sides" kinds of arguments? You know, the ones people backing the most ridiculous positions always make? I need to make a copy of this cartoon to carry with me. It's a point I've often tried to make.

Unfortunately, the kinds of people who advance those arguments are exactly the kinds of people who won't be able to get it.

I'm never going to get to go to parties anymore, am I?
