"The worst thing, and I see it over and over, is how easily people can be led by any kind of authority figure," Funt once said. "We need to develop ways to teach our children how to resist unjust or ridiculous authority."
Too true. I was suprised to see people accept whatever Spike or Buffy said as the truth last year, and I am continuously suprised to see people accept whatever the president is told to say, even if it is refuted with facts the next day. The schools need to teach logic to everyone.
