Yep. The masses have never been taught to think critcally. /QUOTE]
And it is no accident that the likes of Ken Rahn and John McAdams declare that they are teaching critical thinking skills in defending the LN lie.
Telling case in point: Rahn, a scientist who was allowed to teach a University of Rhode Island class in critical thinking and the JFK assassination, proudly awarded an "A" grade to a student who argued that the observations of Parkland Hospital ER physicians treating JFK -- in particular those who confirmed the presence of a large exit wound on the rear of JFK's head -- must be discounted based on statistics indicating that a significant majority of ER physicians in American hospitals have little or no experience treating gunshot wounds.
Seriously.
Pay no attention to the fact that Parkland's ER physicians treating JFK -- the only statistically relevant population for this study -- could claim considerable experience in dealing with gunshot wounds.
A Rahn-approved critical thinker is equally concerned with the skills of doctors on the night shift at Beverly Hills Central.
Don't forget your dear friend who taught 'logic' in Minnesota Professor James Fetzer.
I haven't forgotten him yet.
I'd point out that there are meaningful distinctions between a "dear friend" and a "little mate."

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
