Who tell me not to despair, that America hasn't become a vast, anti-intellectual morass despite evidence to the contrary. Thank you my dear pals who remind me that America has always been a rude, rootin' tootin' frontier where the arrogance of the angry mob has often been successful, except to say that on occasion our nation elects Jefferson or Lincoln or the two Roosevelts or J.F.K.--that yes, just so often our better natures do prevail. Oh my friends from your lips to God's ears. May it be so.
S.K.
Sorry but your friends are full of crap or deluding themselves. The anti intellectualism that exists today is at a historic high. How else do you explain Sarah Palin and her mocking of fruit fly research that indicates her advisors are as dumb as she is?
