so long as people believe what they here from an "authority" without cross examining it or researching it through other independent sources, this will be the case, whether its America or Canada or anywhere else

same applies to religious stuff, just cuz a church says something, people believe it, thats the utmost form of ignorance and inaction. thats basically like saying \

I am slave to this authority and will listen and submit to whatever is said by this authority regarding the related issue in which the have the "expertise"
I try not to "hate" people of some certain type, but ignorant and passive, non-intellectual people who can't think independently and freely, fall into the category of those that I would categorize as hated had I allowed myself to hate people. those who buy word of 6 doctors for the sake of them being doctors without confirming their word by a 3rd party independent source are just an example of such people.
