Americans Are Void of Critical Thinking Skills
By Patricia L. Dickson

Never has there been a time in history requiring that an individual be equipped with critical thinking skills more than now. The biggest problem that America is facing today is the inability of the vast majority of the citizenry to think critically. Matt Drudge went so far as to say that Americans are sick. Lack of the ability to think critically is a mental symptom that affects all people regardless of their level of education, economic status, age, race, ethnicity, sex, or political party (although it appears that liberals are more likely to lack such skills). If we are to ever bring America back to the point where she is great again, the majority of the citizens are going to have to acquire and hone critical thinking skills.

I am honestly stunned at the ignorance of the Millennial Generation.  And their little rug rats are going to be 'feral' if the manner in which we interact today.

Walked by a table of two Asians at the Chinese buffet and checked out their plates, and couldn't help but notice each had their faces in their phones as if they were reading a book.

.....while out having lunch with a friend.     That's.  Not.  Good.
