I hate not being able to go to public places/forums, etc. without being confronted by the idiocracy. I searched out Paul Hardcastle's "19" while on an 80s crawl; it was an important song that highlighted the struggle of American soldiers in Vietnam, the effects of PTSD, and the absence of a "hero's welcome" for any of them. And of course in the comments I find this, among other stupid comments, top-voted:
First & Foremost, I'm sure I'm older than many whom which in to Engage Into Listening To This Classic Tune.
It's Truly Phenomenal, My Father Served In Vietnam in 1966, In The 25Th infantry In Which this Song Is Articulating.
God Bless All Those Vets.
Freedom ISN'T FREE My friends.

I know it's fucking Youtube, and stupidity is to be expected. But Youtube is
massive and a reflection of the masses on this earth. Sometimes this world feels like a prison, and we're locked in with the stupid.
