Briefly noted: a Facebook exchange on 10/8:

— Mike Hammond (Univ. of Arizona): Social media rant #2: On twitter, I keep seeing posts asking how I feel about interracial marriage. Seriously? Are there really sane people who object to this???

— John Singler (NYU): A recent poll (by a reputable organization) in the US asked about Black-white marriage. 94% said it was OK

— MH > JS: yeah, but 6% said no? nutters

— AZ (Stanford) > MH: 6% nutters is modest, in my experience. My rule of thumb is that you can expect 10% nutters on any matter of opinion or belief, no matter how outrageous

At least 10% believe that angels are at work amongst us, that the Illuminati control the media, that another race of people live in the hollow center of the earth, whatever. It’s all very sobering.
