Extremism, Michael Moore and Education

OK here is my observation of the day. I saw that Michael Moore's new "documentary" film received a standing ovation at its premiere in the US. OK admittedly, I have not seen the movie, BUT.. I do know that M.&M.'s movie is saying there are ties between the Bushes and the Saudis. The implication is somehow they are all colluding for some monetary end or maybe to rule the world (which is a bad thing). Here is a simple observation. "W" is a fundamentalist, evangelical Christian. Fundamentalist, evangelical Christians in the 21st century do not tend to trust Muslims. To imply that there is a covenant between the two parties is simply grassy-knoll, conspiracy-wacko logic. OK, so the moon could be made of cheese "under the surface", but it makes no logical sense that it is. So M&M's theory is just a few minutes beyond of the twilight zone - it isn't the brightest. The point is, "why do Americans in the 21st century applaud this stuff like a bunch of raving Nazi's"? I say it is a sign of the failure of our educational system. We think conspiracy and lack of trust in what we see is critical thinking. To be critical is somehow to make speculations about what lies hidden under the surface. No!!! That is superstition. To be a critical thinker is the exact opposite of superstition. Hitler had superstitious theories and so does Osama. To be a critical thinker, you doubt speculation and superstition. Newton said the heart of science is humility. We do not in our ignorance pretend to know things that are actually just superstition. It is conspiracy and ignorance that is the hotbed of extremism. Such intellectual darkness leads to these "beyond the twilight zone" conspiracy theories. The root of our current political hatred is our failure to teach our children to think. As long as M&M keeps demonizing the opposition, can fascist intolerance be far behind?? Extremism is the superstition that demonizes our enemies. We must open our eyes and teach ourselves to "observe and learn".
