Rachel Maddow: I'd Be A Bad Senator (VIDEO)

Hello ddDinah. I guess what I meant by that is not that poorly educated people are more likely to use guns, but that a dumb populace - one that celebrates intellectual mediocrity over educated leadership (for example, a President you'd like to have a "beer with"), can be easily dupped into acting or voting against their own self interests. I find it amazing that poor people of any race or geography would support republican corporatist economics, but they do this because economics is hard to grasp, but "us vs. them" is easy to figure out. Wrap yourself in the flag, talk with a twang, and claim yourself a "Real American," identifiying all others as a threat to the status quo, and you can make the under-informed carry you into town to watch their own economic village burning.



The guns thing was simply referencing how many Americans value their guns, justifying it as a check against government hedgemony. But it does not mean they can't be controlled. Only education insures that a people will be free of tyrannical government. "The one who first resorts to violence shows that he has no more arguments." Sorry if I typed too much.
