    This is someone whose reading into liberalism only went as far as reading the name.

      Kinda like we do around here with only reading the headline? :)

      Were I dictator, I’d mandate critical thought classes through all of primary education.

      I got lucky, had a hippie science teacher from 1st through 6th grade that hammered us on the meaning of empiricism and the scientific method. Taught us how to craft an experiment and judge the results.

      Judging by what I read on FaceBook before bailing out, that instruction didn’t stick for many of my Gen X people.

        Gen X going from “My generation will put it right, we’re not just making promises that we know we’ll never keep” to becoming the evil they swore to destroy definitely goes in my top ten anime betrayals compilation.
