Nebraska is not a lefty state, and never was, but they seemed to see the benefits of non profit utilities:

In my opinion, any business that doesn't have a profit incentive also doesn't have an incentive to operate efficiently and effectively.  That is never a good thing.

Bologne. I provide all of the facts. I enjoy debating with thoughts of my own. You on the other hand can't do anything without Google.

No, you don't provide facts, just what you believe.  

If you want to discuss the issue go find some facts that counter my OP.

I have provided facts. I also provide my thoughts on the facts. I don't just post a Google search. I include my own thoughts. That's because I am able to think on my own. If everyone here only posted articles after articles after articles, and didn't include any critical thought from themselves, then this wouldn't be a debate forum. It would be Google.

No, you didn't.  You just kept complaining about my facts.  No rebuttal.  Nothing.


Opinions are based on facts.  We don't just individually decide whether the the world is flat.  Opinions without a factual basis are just meaningless mumbling.

People post information and others either support or rebut the argument with supportive information.

Critical thinking is the ability to effectively analyze information and form a judgment.

Critical thinking is the act of analyzing facts to understand a problem or topic thoroughly. The critical thinking process typically includes steps such as collecting information and data, asking thoughtful questions and analyzing possible solutions.

I said I give my thoughts on the facts. I didn't say I changed the facts or decided what the facts were. Facts need to be discussed. You don't just throw them out there and not even make an attempt to interpret what it all means.

Bull. I have. You even reposted them yourself , then posted 100 million articles in response...all with no thoughts of your own. 


Have you ever read a research article from an academic journal? They don't just post facts, then say The End.  They have a 'discussion' part where they give their interpretation of the findings. You don't give interpretations. You just post links after links.

Hell, you couldn't even give me a workable definition of what critical thinking is in your own words. You copied and pasted it from the internet.

No, I refuted your ridiculous opinions with facts.  

And the discussion part is opposing facts.
