This is what home schooling does to these cretins.
I'm a German so I do not really know what home schooling means in and for the USA. But it is always good to learn in an atmosphere of many different opinions and ideas. A good book about philosophy is perhaps able to help in this context. Philosopers are often very very different people - but always able to speak with each other.
Oh by the way: I remember now in this context Benedict XVI before he had been Pope. He had once a very interesting discussion with a philosopher of the so called "Frankfurter Schule" (materialists and atheists). I don't remember the name of his discussion partner now - but he had been one of the most famous German philosophers with a big influence. In the end they found out that a pure materialism without an element of spiritualism is not really thinkable. Nearly no one understood this discussion intuitively because she was made on a very high level of philosophical knowledge - but the philosopher had to fight afterwards with attacks he had been a "traitor" - only because they just simple found something out what some people (who overestimated their own philosophical abilities) did not like to hear. Somehow really sad that Benedict died - but perhaps he will be in a better world "now".
