Quote: Well Ron ol' buddy, what say we don't go all "political" here, okay?!
'Cause ya see, that strain of "Anti-intellectualism" I was talkin' about here runs SOOOOOO friggin' deep in this country, that it suuuuuure ISN'T just those Politicos out there who suffer from it, ya know!!! That "stuff" runs REAL DEEP through ALL the many facets of this country, and always has!!!
(...and then we all sit around here and wonder why little Johnny and Susan don't know that Raleigh is the friggin' capital of North Carolina, just as that "Who Knew?" link I supplied showed!...and don't EVEN get me started about those "Jay Walking" spots on "The Tonight Show"!!!!)
I don't believe America is generally an anti-intellectual country. There's plenty of intellectuals that are widely respected, even popular. I think the country has become anti-elitist, specifically the ivy league, you know the supposedly best and the brightest.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
