9. "Believing" has replaced thinking in this country

Years ago, in a very right wing state and community, Mr Sweet was substitute teaching a 3rd grade class. In the middle of a science lesson, a little girl raised her hand and when he invited her question, said “I don’t believe you!” Mt Sweet just smiled at her and said, “The good thing about scientific facts is that they exist whether you believe it or not”, and went on with the lesson. In our discussion that night, we came to the conclusion that the best and only way to communicate with people in that part of the state was Never Make Them Think! It needs to be the motto of the Democratic Party this cycle. I often think that little girl was probably pregnant at 15.
