And I can't imagine going through life being uninformed and lacking critical thinking skills. Maybe you or some of the afflicted who live here can tell me what it feels like.
One thing's for sure, nobody is as impressed with your critical thinking skills as you are of your own skills (e.g., "self impressed"). Your level of arrogance and hubris is on par with the famous tale, "The Emperor Has No Clothes". Just because you're impressed with yourself doesn't make it so Champ.
