Blind leading the blind

It saddens me when i encounter people who do not think. They do not use their brains. All they do is listen to a big mouth, believe it without question, and do not investigate the matter themselves.

They hear about a terrible cartoon from someone. "Yes, blasphemous!" They tell another person, and add some more details. Then, that one passes the story on, and adds other things. Has anyone actually seen the cartoons?

It's like the 'telephone game' we used to play as kids. We start with a sentence, i.e., "the brown fox jumped over the fence,"and whisper it in the ear of the next kid in line, he hears it once and turns to whisper it to the next one. And on it goes until the end of the line of 10 kids. By the time it reaches the 10th kid, the sentence has become "the round ox up rover the ants." It has become completely distorted.
