I teach, periodically, and so have some immediate perception of the critical thinking skills you refer to. It's not that I lack faith in the kids.

The kids I talk with are a lot more skeptical than my generation, they have little patience for lengthy explanations. Jennifer Flowers, Monica Lewinsky, Vince Foster...I think the deluge of mud is going to make these generations look askance at Hillary.
