    Reality is morality, good is a noun, destructive biological patterns should
    be limited or destroyed with complete moral ruthlessness, the way a doctor
    destroys germs. Shall I go on?

    [Case]
    Sort of like the way the church pursued cats in the middle ages to
    discourage the witches? They killed off all the cats for moral reasons, then
    the rat population increased just in time to spread the plague. The world is
    a bit complicated to be exterminating things for moral reasons.

    [Platt]
    But again I ask, if someone agrees with a party platform does that
    automatically qualify her as a non-critical thinker? In other words, are
    only liberals critical thinkers? Or only those who disagree with one or two
    planks in a party platform?

    [Case]
    Critical thinking is not just a party plank for the left it is the
    cornerstone. That's why those on the right have such a hard time
    understanding it.
