My first reaction was Happy Birthday! My second reaction was...whoa what happened to Bob this week to put such a dark cloud on his outlook? Then I realized the Padres lost Game 1 to the Satans of the National League (to borrow from your rather loose definition of the angel of darkness ) and this must have been written before Game 2. So I will look forward to next week's with hope that the local team shines a light on the forces of evil and banishes those bad boys back to brooklyn where we all know true salvation resides...
Excellent. Thinking for oneself requires two things primarily. Number one a sense of self constructed around a set of immutable principles (values or ethics if you prefer) and number two a practical understanding of what thinking entails. The two go together: I need my robust ethical framework in order to be able to evaluate information in its myriad forms and sources and if necessary (which is often) shut it down when it threatens to violate those principles. Both of these prerequisites of individual thought are trained early and away from the satanic corrosive influences of the electronic herd.
