This article starts out talking about paranoia and insanity, but then moves into a discussion about why people continue to believe that the 2000 Presidential election was rigged. There is actually ample evidence that the Democrats were the ones trying to modify the results. An enjoyable read that should have you shaking your head if you read it with an open mind. A friend from work says that inside every Democrat is a Republican waiting to be educated. I'm inclined to believe him more each day. Read Bias to hear how and why the media has a liberal bias but doesn't realize it. Both of these points tie in nicely with the (somewhat obvious) concept that if you are unskilled at something, you lack the ability to accurately evaluate your own abilities, and will tend to think you are more competent than you are. The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (by the American Psychological Association) published a detailed study on this topic. Worth skimming, at least.
