It's not very becoming to think you know everything since you were afforded a good education. In fact I think you're very intelligent to understand people learn much more over there life than in a structured school of their youth.

Obtaining an education isn't all about facts and figures. It is also about discernment and critical thinking. In undertaking the rigors of higher education, one is required to gain skills that permit better understanding and evaluation of materials one encounters. It is learning to learn as much as it is gathering a body of knowledge.

I agree with that but it's not only attainable in a structured education.

You have aptly demonstrated, however, that it's more difficult to attain without education.

In other words ones bullshit detector (or generator) is more finely honed. Although I have no sheepskins to display, I'd have to agree. Some of the finest bullshit comes from the highly educated. At times it leaves me humbled and more than a bit envious.

I thought "progressives" were the elitist Ivy League Snobs and now they hate education? I must have been on vacation when the memo went out.

I found back in 1963 when I was first introduced to computers that I have a very logical thinking process and that made me a damn good programmer. I thoroughly enjoyed making them do my bidding and rapidly realized that they are simply high speed electronic idiots. They will do precisely what you tell them to do, no more, no less. One of the games we used to play with people impressed with computers was to tell them that they were computers and could only do exacttly what we told them to do. Then we would ask one of the non-programmers to tell the 'computer' to take off his shirt.

When it comes down to it, the GOP will choose to worship at the Church of the Almighty Dollar.

“I believe that any state, they should look very closely at Arizona,” Glenn Hamer, president and chief executive of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce, said on Thursday. “My guess is that after what has happened here, I’d be very surprised if this type of bill could pass in any state in the country.”

Looks like the high priest has spoken.

You may be half right.
