I just found out that Cheney was accurately quoting John Kerry yesterday. But apparently, Kerry said that in 1970. He has since retracted his comment as having been that of a young, naive veteran.
The influence of advertising, the media, and partisan politics, among other things, poses great challenges to clear thinking. The demands of work, a lack of time, and the overwhelming flow of information further add to the problem. Can we rise to the challenge and improve the ways in which we think?
Our attempts at better thinking can lead to better solutions and a better life.
