#1 Confirmation bias: the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses. It is a type of cognitive bias and a systematic error of inductive reasoning. People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way. The effect is stronger for emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs.

#3 Yes #1. I understand this thought process was minor among our general population of the 50's but today as we can see daily clearly it has morphed dramatically.

#4 ...I live about 75 miles from Lamar. It's one of those places that's not much more than a wide spot in the road, and like so many others here in SC, tends to turn out the occasional politician whose opinion of themselves is far out of proportion to their actual importance.

The pollening is a yearly (and sometimes nearly year-long) natural event down here. If Her Honor says she didn't know what it was, then she ain't fit to run an ice cream stand, much less a small town.

That, or she was lying through her teeth.

#6 Either she hasn't lived in South Carolina very long or she's very much wanting to be a victim.

#8 It is an old story. Plants and animals have been at war for millions of years. They can't run away when we try to eat them so they fight back with pickers, thorns, chemicals, and coating our cars with pollen and sap.

#13 Yes. I live in SC as well, and this time of year we are awash in pollen. Anyone who has lived here for any length of time has to know this.

This is nothing more than desire for victimization and hate crimes taken to the really, really ridiculous extreme.

#14 As explained elsewhere, in a world of supply and demand, there is so little 'hate' crimes today, they have to fabricate supply to meet the demand.

Well, the 'classical' stuff. The actual hate crimes are being committed by the Left and buried by their agents in the Ministry of Propaganda.
