"I find it difficult to imagine teaching when one believes there is nothing important to learn."

The real payoff is when they point a gun at your head and say "It's too deep, you would not understand". The truth is they can't explain it. And I know they are opposed to guns, unless of course the guns are in the hands of Janet Reno storm troopers.

It all leads me to believe that through some obviously transcendent process they have arrived at their outlook on life. X to her credit is a good barometer on how people think. Think might not be a good word, how about, "trained to react".

You'll note how they become immediately offended at certain statements or words and then break into diatribe. This is a type of censorship that is found only in North America in my experience. To walk around on egg shells so you don't say anything that could offend or be construed as offensive. I believe we can put the blame squarely on the shoulders of standardized education.

They remind me of the screaming masses who urged on the proponents of the Spanish Inquisition. And of course when something brutal or bad happens they can say "I didn't know anything" "Why would anybody listen to me". An enabler is just as bad as the crime he or she allows to happen.
