Facebook status updates about the election are a great way to determine if the people you know are actually as ignorant as you always suspected they were.

Is it bad that I deleted a bunch of them? Not the ones that actually said how they felt intelligently because I can respect that.
Several of my ‘friends’ are bemoaning the socialist state we are going to become, while also threatening to move to Canada. I think you can all deduce the flawed logic in that one.
One of my friends went so far as to post information about how to apply for a work visa…in Sweden. Coming from a person whose primary criticism of Obama is his proposal for higher tax rates on the top income bracket, I can’t get my mind around why he’d want to move to a country where the highest income tax rates ring in at about 60%. But then, it’s pretty clear to me that he, along with most of my friends who share his ideas, know very little about economics, politics, or the rest of the world, so the fact that Mr. Down-with-the-Welfare-State wants to move to one of the most infamous welfare states on the planet really isn’t all that shocking.
