Education is one answer--but then, of course, it depends upon the education, and not indoctrination! What gets me is that more and more people are rejecting science in favor of religion and wild propaganda. Nobody really asks "Is this true?" very often. Plus, of course, there is the question of government/religion, etc. filtering information.
