The Fresno County Supervisors held a vote to continue support of the HSR. The March 27, 2012 Fresno Bee article explains.
The articles the Bee run are relatively honest and impartial but, the comments are filled with non-cognitive emotion which produce irrational stupidity. Posted in a blog by Todd Litman, a leading land-use expert, at www.planetizen.com, is one of the best comments of this phenomenon: "A related issue is the Dunning-Kruger effect, which refers to the tendency of people who are unaware of how little they know about a subject to be overly confident of their abilities and judgment. Research indicates that ignorant people often rate their knowledge and ability higher than it actually is, suffering from illusory superiority, while more knowledgeable people underrate their own abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority."
