You think that is off base? You think that people can think logically without being educated? Thinking logically is something we learn over a long period of time. Sophisticated thinking gets better the more people educate themselves by whatever means e.g. just reading books by smart people. I remember when I started my education how terrible my writing was. I'm still a pretty poor writer, but I am much better than I was 60 years ago. The more education a person has, the smarter they get and the more logical they get, in the main. That is a fact. Go into a prison, or a ghetto, and asked them to write a paper and see what it looks like. Go to UC Berkeley and ask them to do the same thing! Go to Appalachia and asked the uneducated people up in the hills to write a paper and see how logical it is. Have you never noticed that the right wingers have a tendency to post in sentences and the liberals post in paragraphs? Message #7703 from Lane3 at 1/23/2017 2:05:22 PM That is common among uneducated people. That's off base! The people I have in mind are not uneducated. The prominent Trump supporters on this thread are not uneducated. I wrote Trump off early as monumentally unfit for the office, thus there was no need for me to consider any of his positions. Others saw the asshole in him but didn't find that sufficient to be immediately disqualifying so they proceeded to considered his political positions and found them preferable. That may be an oversight, but is not an unreasonable one.
