If you look at the world. The most civilized societies are always the most educated. People don't seem to understand it takes a developed mind to see civilization. Our founding fathers were the intelligencia of the day. I do not shy away from saying this, because most people can be great thinkers if they put their minds to it. But they don't. Not intersted.
