&gt;Either that, or you don&#x27;t get to vote.<p>What? Graduating from school (highschool or university) is about learning how to follow directions and play the game. To say that a degree somehow guarantees that a person knows how to think critically is ludicrous.<p>But you&#x27;re not even making such a modest claim, you&#x27;re actually claiming that it is the only way to assure people can think critically (even though it&#x27;s not even a valid way to begin with). Some of us can think critically as children. Do you honestly believe just because you couldn&#x27;t think critically until you were an adult, that means that hundreds of millions of people that you&#x27;ve never met should be forced into the same fruitless, and arbitrary indoctrination you had to undergo to become adequate in your own eyes?<p>Are you aware of how absolutely stupid school seems to people who are really, really smart? <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lambdassociates.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;bipolar.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lambdassociates.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;bipolar.htm</a>
