Greetings @Moa Hunter and all,
I think that the quote sums up things well. When we abandon critical thinking we give up control of our destiny to an extent. The world seems awash with groups blindly following the baseless utterings of their favoured leaders (I am not picking on any one person here). Perhaps like @Gamehunter it is just me having been born in 1949.
Regards Grandpamac.

Those who beat their swords into ploughshares will plough for those who don't. There is very little new under the sun.
