Why

When dogma drowns the room all reason turns to dread
They shout down every voice and mock what is said
Raise honest doubt and scorn is all you will receive
They answer every question with insults to deceive

Sonds like too many rooms I've heard about lately. Myself, I avoid all rooms except the can, man.
