Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Has anyone noticed that Shutdown is taking longer in this release - or is it just me?

Can't say yet, every shut down since has involved another update to the update. One thing I don't like is the Edge tab in IE...because they really, really, really want me to use it for some reason. I wonder how long before they kill IE?

This cannot be just ignorance, it shows an acute lack of rudimentary logical and analytical skills. In other words, these people have got to be clinical idiots.

I think it says a lot about the US education system that people like that can get to adulthood ...
Mind you, I suspect you'd get quite a few "brown cow" enthusiasts over here as well, if you picked your locations a little carefully.

Coupled with some of their other findings:
that onions and lettuce were plants. Four in 10 didn’t know that hamburgers came from cows. And 3 in 10 didn’t know that cheese is made from milk.
I couldn't agree more.

It was a lot easier when they just asked who was buried in Grant's tomb. People got that wrong too.

Surely beefburgers come from cows; hamburgers come from pigs.

I used to believe that too. When I was five years old.

There is a vast array of information out there, of which specific knowledge of, for someone that is not specifically involved in that area doesn't mean much.
After the impact here is only if they decide to buy a brown cow so they can have their own chocolate milk. Much worse in that case is the thinking that raw milk from the cow should even be drunk in the first place. How many people believe that in the US? Certainly enough that people die from it every year. That has a real impact.
How many adults are financially illiterate? How many think that the President can fire a member of congress? How many seek to cure real illnesses using CAM alone?
And for that matter, I read recently that every single major cancer hospital in the US has a CAM clinic in the hospital.
So no, where chocolate milk comes from isn't a real pressing issue. Doesn't even rise above the noise level.

And the thinking is perpetuated this way:
"I don't want to think about where my chicken breast came from; I simply get it at the supermarket. I will actually choose to not acknowledge that it was once a living animal that was raised to be food, was slaughtered and processed."
Then, the next step, "When I have children, I will teach them what I choose to believe, therefore they be never hear that a chicken breast came from a once living animal,"
Yes, I have worked with people that behaved this way.
Growing up on a farm, I learned first hand the farm-to-table cycle... it should be taught in school; every school should have an incubator to hatch out a round of chicks, ducklings, something... every year.
