Should there be a law against obstructions... by Illiad 2007-10-08 13:57:30
...to learning critical thinking?

A strong argument could be made that much of what ails us on this planet comes from irrational thought. I don't think we should force anyone to learn how to think logically and critically, but I wonder if we shouldn't see about eradicating efforts that try to deny access to critical thinking education.

I'll put down the can-opener. The worms are out. :)
