If that's a rant I hate to think what some of the stuff some of the rest of us have written qualifies as...  
Humans have an obsession with organizing, classifying, essentially understanding things. It's evolutionary, and it's a good thing. Unfortunately Western society has a nasty bug in that fine programming - we encourage spouting off as a way to prove our intelligence (a by-product of the capitalist ethic, in my opinion). When you combine that with the Internet, a medium that allows for the rapid diffusion and reaction to information, you run into problems.
