I just came from a dinner party where I took it upon myself to ‘bring people up to speed’ i.e. clarify all the media spin etc that’s going on. An hour and a half combating mild to sheer stupidity. Grown adults with business etc. with absolutley no sense of history, origin of ideas, or coherent philosophy. It was like dealing with school children. By the time I was done, most were refreshingly dumbfounded. I figure, at least it’s a start.
Sad, isn’t it? Actually it’s horrifying how uninformed most people are. Someone else mentioned our one-size-fits-all federally mandated school system . . . well, there you go.
