There is hope that critical thinking skills are not dead in America's youth...check out this call with Rush and a 13 year old. A 13 year old gets it, why can't Al Gore? I heard it on the radio and had to track it down....CALLER: All right. When I was in school we had a current events class, and we would read the more liberal magazines like TIME and Newsweek, and they always have these articles in there about some new study about global warming, about how the earth was three degrees hotter than it was a hundred years ago, but they never had any evidence in there that it was caused by people, that it wasn't just a natural cycle.
RUSH: Did you mention this?
CALLER: No, I didn't. I just thought of it near the end of the school year.
RUSH: You just observed it? Well, that's probably wise on your part. You're very smart, because you're exactly right. They didn't present any evidence. Well, they didn't present any evidence, but did they try to convince you, without evidence, that it was manmade?
CALLER: Yeah, they told us we need to start driving hybrids; that it's going to be summer in January.
RUSH: (laughs) Yeah, and at 13. Where do you think your skepticism of this came from?
CALLER: My parents have always been kind of skeptical of it.
See what happens when parents actually parent? They get a child who can listen to something and decide it is bull***t. Good for the young student, though now the petty lib teachers will hunt him down and label him intolerant.
