Well, Mr. Allin, I think that having the capacity to think does not mean that one will necessarily think. Then there is the daunting task of co-thinking. Is it possible? I think so. Is it common? I think not so. Do you really think that the US media are largely dominated by conservative Republicans? That is an interesting slant. I think that the US media are dominated by a profit-grubbing elite that doesn't care a whit about political parties beyond the profitability of reporting on the conflict that arises as a result of their existence. But that's what I get for thinking. Media and entertainment thrive on non-thinking. They collude to turn minds to mush. Of course there must exist minds that have been prepared to be mushed. Leave that to our (non)educational system. Yeah, well, before we get into the whole circular reasoning thing, let's just agree to keep thinking. Cheers!
