WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

Remedy for Dumbing-Down of America?

Lack of interest in critical thinking and exploring new thoughts and ideas is escalating.  At the same time, the Fox-watching Kool-aid drinkers in the populace scorn those who engage in critical thinking and intellectual debate.  By that I mean reason-based discussion rather than reactive shouting matches.
I'm not at all sure "education" as we have defined it for centuries can remedy this problem; my own brain cells are still at rest this Sunday morning.  However, it's something I'll be pondering as soon as I can bear the weight of it. Again.  Meanwhile, I liked this image of a world of books posted by The Pragmatic Progressive on Facebook.  Since we progressives are more about sharing for the good of all and less about acclaim and accumulating mind-boggling wealth at the expense of others, I believe TPP will forgive me for sharing so many of their great FB posts here at Lucy Left.  May you live well and prosper (but please promise not to get greedy in the process).
