Satire

I agree and disagree with the scarcastic article. First, I would be a lot easier if everyone believe in the same thing and there was no one to say it wasn't true. In Inherit the Wind, the same thing happens. No one wants to believe we decended from apes, and it is easier just to go along with the creation theory. The article also says the the facts have nothing to do with life after school. In some cases this is true, you may not need to know the theory of evolution or about space. But I believe that everyone has a right learn and a right to information. Satire is used a lot in this article to enhance extremities. For example, the article says that giving people facts will allow them to think, and we don't want people to think! I agree that it is a lot easier to control people if no one is thinking outside the box, but if no one was a thinker, we would get no where. Facts enable our mind to wander and think of all the possiblities. If children were deprived of facts, they would be deprived on learning and thinking too.
