And finally, I think perhaps some of you should look hard at your disdain for educated people. Sure, some educators without real world experience are out of touch. And yeah, most of them disagree with your politics and so you are inclined to deprecate them a bit. But if you are going to publicly discuss your generalization that they are somehow mentally challenged, or underinformed or whatever, then first I suggest you consider how your message will be received. Folks who think just like you, and who listen to Rush Limbaugh and watch Fox News might not see a problem or an irony. And of course you could care less about what lefties think. But there are middle-of-the-road folks out there. Lots of them. And when they hear you declare the most educated people in the world to be a bunch of idiots........well..........
I don't know if that was aimed at me, but I have no disdain for educated people. I have disdain for people who chose to ignore truth and use their titles as license to advance their agendas when their agendas are not supported by facts. I have disdain for people who hear or read stuff in media and take it for truth because somebody appears to know what they are talking about. Footnotes in media would be a great improvement. I'm not sure if you know what my politics are since they vary by the subject.
