Why would ANY logical thinking person have ANYONE speak for them? These are idiots who sell you out to the first lobbyist who comes calling.

That is what you have a brain for.

To change the subject slightly, pure true evidence-based thinking, as aggressively taught in medical cirriculums and used professionally daily for diagnosis, isn't taught in high schools any longer, IMO. The student taking advanced high-school classes may get some logic education in a bit of Socrates, but science, math and physics, and the pure thinking methodology that accompanies learning those disciplines in a more than superficial way, is in very short thrift nowadays. And it is a learned skill. Nowadays people seem to go purely on emotion, and facts or truth don't seem to matter much.
