What ever happened to Logic?

My sisters and I have in the past gathered around many a holiday table, be it Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Mother's Day or the most sacred of all an Auburn Football Game, discussing the role of humans in today's world. The question that always comes up is: What happen to LOGIC?

In years gone by people prided themselves in making "Logical" decisions. People revered others that were "Logical". Spending millions of dollars testing students to see if they have increased their abilities, without increasing the pay of the teachers to do so, is not "Logical". Spending tax dollars to hire a media mouthpiece to prance around the country touting the benefits of this unproven program, all while receiving under the table payments from the department of education is not "Logical", it is unethical.

Logic and Ethics are very closely related, yet the extreme right has lost its moral compass and figures that we no longer can see it "Logically". When a government is guided by a group of thugs and nonsensical bullies as it is today, "Logic" is thrown out the window, just as the baby is with the bath water.

A war fought on false reasons, more for money than for real safety, achieving less, is still under way as I write this. And it is not "Logical".
