I'm more than a little concerned about bringing a child into a world where one can simply dismiss facts as a conspiracy or propaganda if they don’t fit with one’s beliefs or world view.
Perhaps even more disturbing is that with the advent of the ubiquitous internet and 24 hour cable news one can find a community of likeminded goobers to support their particular asinine stance (this is true for all political ideologies). I...’m all for critical thinking and logical skepticism but there comes a point in any contested event where substantial evidence from a multitude of sources cannot be refuted with hysterical unsubstantiated accusations of conspiracy.
