Notice the Handbasket?

This article made me sick. Terry Pratchett writes that one can calculate the IQ of a mob by taking that of its lowest member and dividing it by the number of people. There is an irrationality to evil that makes its banal component even more terrifying. I hate that the author of the article refers to "legitimate rage" against immigrants. There is nothing that can legitimately connect non-malicious actions such as job-seeking immigration to violence of any kind. There are no words strong enough to condemn this stupidity.
