Right wingers are deeply distrustful of education out of fear that their kids will learn new-fangled ideas like God didn't really make Eve out of Adam's rib, or that the earth is more than 6,000 years old.

ROFL I see. that's a fascinating way of looking at the world I'm sure they uneducated can take great heart from your position. Some of them may not be able to read, but Gosh darn it, Bill thinks they can be informed (by television, perhaps?)! Bravo Truly, yours is one of the funniest posts I've read in a long time. Perhaps you could write an essay to accompany it? "In Defence of Ignorance- a treatise on the Great Advantages of being Uneducated". Another Modest Proposal. I look forward to reading it. I wonder what Flesch-Kincaid level you should write it in? I mean if you want the uneducated to be able to read your pean TO the uneducated... 9th grade? 5th grade? 2nd grade? Or for the truly uneducated- the language of illiteracy- which I guess would be pictures.
