I love that you actually write slightly over my head and challenge me to really think about what I am reading. yes, we have a huge need for honest and objective thought, but the problem is a huge portion of the population are schooled to think like zombie workers instead of engaged citizens. our standards and practices for education and socialization will keep perpetuating a voting populace who fail to understand the need for critical analysis and action until parts of our infrastructure are revamped. hopefully the paradigm shift will happen before its ecologically too late.
