It's friday

Yeah, so it is.
Now, I consider myself a semi smart guy.  I have my moments of brightness.
But what I don't understand is why it is that I am able to "get" how things are but others don't?
I'm not a collegiate scholar. I don't hold any titles or have never been thought of as an "expert" in a specific field.
But I can see a turd and know it's a turd.
Why are there so many people that are supposed to be wise, smart, knowing, educated, certified and titled?
Why I ask.
I have a theory!
YES!  My brain actually started this morning with out a band playing the star spangled banner!
Because they are either:
Protecting their tender ego
In denial
Financially bound to subject "A" and wont speak the truth because it is tied to their income
Wrongly loyal to the "thing" that is wrong and wont be honest about it
Or...
this is the big one
ready?
Sure?
ok
No going back
once you know something you cant un-know it

They are politicians.
They walk through turds all day long and only talk about the wonderful flowers lining the road.
They are turd walkers. 
That's my name for it.
Feel free to use that
