What is the term for the kind of thinking that generates contemplation about consequences? Or has one think, hmmm, what else is there to the story? Or, considers the needs of somebody else? Or, recognizes political rhetoric no matter where it comes from?

Why do so many people seem to be lacking it? Is it critical thinking, or some other kind of thinking? How does a society teach it?

It isn't just the fundie right that lacks this ability.

And on the subject of thinking, southern African Americans are voting for things like the bankruptcy bill and energy bill. Why? Is there something percolating in the African American vote that liberals are missing? Do they feel like social programs targeted at minorities perpetuates the notion that they're a permanent underclass? Do they feel condescended to?

Do liberal lefties truly THINK beyond traditional liberal dogma?

I am just so tired of reactionary bullshit.
