I meant that I feel like a genius just for knowing that Iraq didn't bomb the WTC.  I totally agree that we need to teach people critical thinking (and compassion).  Are schools totally failing at this now?  I don't have kids, so I don't know.  I've always lived on the west coast, from Washington to California, so I've been in a leebral bubble my whole life.  I also haven't watched TV in about 20 years, apart from renting shows on netflix and seeing clips on the internet.  But I am a really skeptical person overall and I've always been like that.  Watching the dumbing down of America makes me so sad.
