All of whom share my son's opinion. I suspect your influence on your progeny is greater than you will admit.

New Not to mention the China connection.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov

New Perhaps with the youngest.
But, the oldest is in Hillary's camp! And believe me, I had *nothing* to do with that. She feels Bernie is too left for her tastes, but concedes that Obama failed to deliver on his progressive promises - probably much to her delight I'm afraid to say.

I work with several 20-30 yos but nearly all of them are fans of Fox News who think Hillary is a flaming liberal and Bernie is a Communist.

New Ah, you work with the thickos, then.
I bet a non-trivial subset of them are cheering the national embarrassment that happened yesterday in front of the Senate Science Committee.

New I don't think they're curious enough to even know about that.
If Fox doesn't report on it and Rush Limbaugh doesn't say anything about it, then they've never heard of it. If either does say anything about it, it will be swallowed entirely without question.

New Dunno if it's lack of curiosity, but siloing of news is a big problem. :-(
