Critical Thought

Cynicism is easy, it's hope that is hard

About Me

Critical Thought was created as a forum for the exchange of ideas and the discussion of ideals, something that this country was based upon. The rights of free speech and freedom to dissent are two of the greatest themes in the Constitution, and are too often clouded by ideology and partisanship. Please feel free to say your piece, but most of all, just feel FREE!

My Interests

Critical Thought; the long lost art of seeking truth in a world of smoke and mirrors.

I'd like to meet:

Critical Thought does not mean critisizing things, but to look at an issue from many perspectives in an effort to find truth. The Right and the Left are the two sides that everyone sees, but the middle is where most of us are, as a nation. Nothing is taboo. Nothing is sacred. Nothing is spared.
