Dan,

There seems to be no leadership for dispassionate critical
thinking.


there's an oxymoron if ever I saw one.

"Critical thinking" kind of goes against following any kind of
leadership blindly. And that's why "leaders" tend to want those being
led to not think critically. Dubya is a prime example.

Hmm... Are you saying that it is impossible for a society of critical
thinkers to have a leader? Does having a leader always mean
"following...blindly?"

No. All I'm saying is that critical thinking requires a lot of
independence.

Let's see: He wants people to spend their own money, have choices for
schools, to behave responsibly...

Yup...really blind followers.

Of course, Americans used to be self-directed...
