I would just like to highlight the opposition made by Anders, which denotes
a very important phenomenum of actual days:
People, in general, nowadays, have much more access to mere opinion
informative vehicles than to serious (and credible) knowledge... So their
minds are influenced (and even formed !!??...) by journalists, TV etc, than
by scientists or even teachers f.ex.... >>> and, after that, they go
exercising their democratic rights... at the same level of those who have a
greater culture >>> it is, at least, SOCIAL IRRESPONSIBILITY... but for just
getting votes from the majority...
Gomes.

Society' paying for its own mistakes...)
