[BC] could someone explain this to me?

[DANA PUOPOLO]

Ron, after reading your rants, I've come to the conclusiuon that you see three
kinds of people in the world:

1. You.
2. Everyone who 100% agrees with your every thought.
3. Everyone else...

and group #3 must CERTAINLY be 100% WRONG all the time!

Correct?

If that were true, Hot Air America would be number one, but right now, it's
