Being a realist is what it is and comes from an detailed analysis of the facts. The fact is this nation’s core values have degraded significantly within the last twenty years and the education system is producing people who really cannot think critically to solve our problems.
It lacks a detailed analysis of history with regard to cause and effect.
On these points, I agree with you:
“The fact is this nation’s core values have degraded significantly within the last twenty years and the education system is producing people who really cannot think critically to solve our problems.”
...which makes me all the more sure that we cannot allow Obama to become president. Allowing him to be president will only ensure that overall values become even worse, the system of public education will sink even deeper into the quagmire.....and some very troubling outcomes with regard to national security will ensue.
