     Those who pay the piper call the tune, as the old saying goes.   
     If one is in control of the purse they have a lot a say in a matter.

   now, but it's sad to know how rare this is. Being as I have to live with the   
   idiots these people elect. Frustrating.   
      
     When I was in school critical thinking was taught.  Not formally as a   
   class, but within classes.    
     If one had an idea popular or unpopular, they had to explain why they   
   thought that way.   
     Anymore that isn't taught.  Its all too much group think.

      I enjoy reading phone books.  Not much of a plot but a lot of   
   characters...  :)
