More common? As in they sense things more often than other people?

Look at Katt Williams' segment on "tiger attack" or the things George Carlin or Lewis Black says.

Because they don't have to try to implement it.

It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes. But the half-wit remains a half-wit, and the emperor remains an emperor.

You ever get put in charge of a group at the office or a group project at school? Sometimes to keep everyone on the same page you have to break with common sense to meet the weakest link where they are and bring them up.

Also, comedians can tell it like it is. Governments and media have to just fool you into thinking they care about everyday stupidity so that the lowest common denominator will tune in. They aren't beneficent, they are sales people and the lies people WANT to believe are their product.
