Re: [Dems2008] Re: Hi Ci- explanation re: the "less educated"

Ugh!  Nobody wants to be in the group considered less educated.  It feels just awful!  But I continue to support Hillary regardless.   Less intelligent and less educated don't necessarily equate.   I am sure many of you know people who are not exceptions,  in whom less intelligence and more education commune.    There is another school of thought here in which greater, structured education is more condusive to a "mob mentality" or "cult of personality"  tendancy.  More conformed, "polarized".  The people of this world who cannot walk and chew their gum at the same time, so to speak, are evenly distributed among the educational spectrum.   Wisdom is the key.  Oh yes, I hold only a paltry four year education and unsure how to use spell check.  hahaha!  I know, I know, the smell of blood is intoxicating!
