great american think-off

The 21st annual Great American Think-Off question seems relevant given the recent national debate over the so-called "fiscal cliff."

The Minnesota organizers of the 2012 Great American Think-Off have named the four finalists who'll square off in this year's debate. This year's question asks whether humankind is inherently good or evil. Four finalists will debate the question June 9.

The Minnesota-based Great American Think-Off is posing a familiar question for its 20th annual debate. This year's question is: "The Nature of Humankind: Inherently Good or Inherently Evil?"

A Minnesota nonprofit has released its annual philosophy question that will lead to one entrant being named "America's Greatest Thinker for 2011."
