david and anon, as I said "cynical views are found in ... political rants about certain sorts of `them.'" Marxist social theory is example of cynicism about them, not about us.

Buck, a massive rhetorical imbalance doesn't matter because "kids always figure it out"? Do you think that true for all rhetorical imbalances?

Jess, why do cynical explanations requires stronger evidence that idealistic explanations?

I would like to know if there is something like the 10 commandments of the cynic or a book that teaches how to be more cynic?I'm trying to become more cynical but I'm wired to try and look for the best on everyone and like people in general so I have no idea how or where to start. Thanks for the help.
