Sorry to disagree with you Cannon Shell,
I'm not a traitor.
Ignorance is damaging.
Information is liberating. That's why it was written into the Constitution as something called "freedom of the press".
Denying that fact denegrates something that many have shed blood to protect and sustain.
There's nothing "hollow" in that!
