Call it Crowdsourcing; Call it Folk Wisdom. It's Still Dumb.

I am tired of people having opinions on the recession who are not economics Nobellists.

I am tired of people having opnions on the war in Afganistan who are not four-star generals or high-ranking members of the State Department.

I am tired of people having opinions on the safety of medications who are not doctors, who say "well, my cousin's friend took it and a month later had a c-section instead of delivering vaginally, so draw your own conclusions."

I do not believe in the wisdom of the common man. Please keep it to yourself. Even if you're paid a lot, or widely recognized, it's not for this.
