What should be illegal?

Refusing to think for yourself.

Let's look at this for a minute, at all the things that this particular brand of stupidity leads to. Close-mindedness. Bigotry. Intolerance. Fanaticism. Terrorism. Murder. These are things our world doesn't need. There will always be human conflict, and war; that is a given. World peace is an unattainable utopia. But the world could be a better place without the ridiculousness brought on by refusing to think for yourself, by listening to the pundits and pastors and people with their own agendas that they're pushing on the sheep unwilling to really investigate what they're told.

Punishment? There needs to be a genetic mutation that makes it physically painful to blindly follow something without bothering to investigate it. I maintain this same punishment counts for stupidity and every time a prominent member of the GOP opens his or her mouth to say something that basically resembles WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
