What if the fault is the failure to find fault?

You made me smile. :)

Let me tell you a parable. A woman (W) calls her husband (H) to warn him of 
a dangerous driver:

W: Honey, be careful. I just saw on the news that some idiot is driving on 
the freeway in the wrong direction.

H: Yes honey, I see him! And he's not alone! There are tens of them! No, 
hundreds!

Now, maybe you *are* Galileo, but then you shouldn't be surprised that 
people with pitchforks want to burn you at the stake.

And you know this, how? This is exactly the problem: you think you're so 
smart and know everything, and we're all full of it. Last I heard, you don't 
even have a job?
