Now, being an American, and having been brought up after Vietnam, for the most part, I've noticed how the whole civics/critical thinking thing has been downplayed (hell, you can even graduate from high-school now w/o *any* foreign language!).
I got an email today that reminded me of why I'm not in Texas, but I have to admit, trading 'believers' out isn't really what I hoped for.
I traded racism, faithism, and rugged individualism for anthropomorphism, xenophobia, and (strangely) 'hippie haters'.
It doesn't really matter what your 'cause' is. If it's not based on rationality and critical thinking, it's not, and I'm not particularly interested in it.
And to tell the truth, the more I look at things, the fewer 'causes' I'm interested in working on.
