Aunty,

"It's not about sharing my same values or opinions. It's about demonstrating an ability to think logically and analytically."

That's what I see as missing, and it's missing among way too many people from all age groups. I never aimed my assessment at just the youngest generation of Americans. Ignorance abounds among Americans of all ages, and it makes me wonder how the country has done as well as it has. I don't really care that everyone doesn't know Melville wrote Moby Dick. It's the lack of Americans able to demonstrate logical thought and analytical reasoning that disturbs me.
