prove me WRONG :)

I hate this notion of right and wrong....wait wait wait...let me explain. 

Just like the racial lines that divide so many, so does this idea of being right and wrong.  When man gets involved with making rules and stuff - everything get's jacked up.  Not saying, we don't need rules, but the natural consequence of someone being on the wrong side of an issue is marginalizing - thus leading to oppression (a natural biproduct of an "American individualized ideology,") on a a scale of not very much to whoa..."this is crazy type oppression."

I'm not saying that we shouldn't have man made rules, we must.  But we also must think about who decides the right and wrong...and how YOU decide YOUR right and wrong??  I aruge over and over that so many schools are not teaching young people to think (many of these schools are POOR and public...btw).  I feel now, we have a generation of non-thinkers who are motivated by sensational media and...media (not everyone, don't get mad at me..OR actually, get mad.  And prove me WRONG! Pun intended!)

Now the real life connection - How can we have a political system that counts on the votes of its people if we are unable to think?  Is that why we have an electoral college...?

Okay okay...  I know this is an old argument, but serious none-the-less.  It makes me worried...how do you fight against complacency when everyone has access to nonsense, and can't use their own minds?
