What is "well meaning" about people who purposely distort the facts, ignore 
data, invent data, and can't grow up to face life on life's terms? This is 
clearly not about differing opinions. It is about people who want to invent 
reality and will lie to ram it down our throats. The proof is "out there". I 
won't do your homework for you. I have thought for years that a mandatory 
course in critical thinking in public school would completely torpedo the 
left in this country.( As long as it wasn't a course co-opted by these 
liberals.) Here is an example of some "fairy tale thinking" from a previous 
posting:

 "Even if so, isn't it interesting that academics and journalists -- the
 two groups with the greatest access to information -- are considered to
 be liberal -- in other words, the more people know, the more likely they
 are to believe that the liberal approach is the corect way."

It is amazing how many people read this kind of crap and eat it up without 
catching on. This is very much like what you read in today's news stories. 
Same kind of infantile "reasoning", coming to a "conclusion" that is 
unfounded.

I must apologize for that long and rambling narrative I posted earlier. I 
see by these replies that the only point of interest was the one contained 
in the first line. I'll try not to be so effusive next time.
