Misconceptions

This evening I was searching for blogs to post on for a class, and I was growing frustrated because all my favorites had not posted for about a month.

Then I realized that I am a complete hypocrite. Not that I am anyone's favorite, but I can see that there are some people checking out my blog and getting disappointed.

Last night I volunteered at the Children's Museum with the Physics Club for Mythbuster's Night. It was fantastic. I was, however, apalled at how many parents led their children into giving the wrong answers on their little quizzes even after the physics of things had been explained to them. Some people are just completely unwilling to give up on their perceptions. It seems like life should work a certain way, and even if it doesn't, I'll go on thinking it does.

Is that why so many marriages fail? Is that why there are so many terrible divas on American Idol? Is that why so many college freshman party for an entire year and then flunk out and work at department stores and fast food joints their whole lives?
