  1. It's up to each person to educate themselves, once they're done with formal education. It's our responsibility to exercise both our bodies and our brains. No one else can make us. What we learn in school doesn't all stay intact, throughout the decades, without review, practice, and building on what we learned by continually challenging our intellects.

So while formal education needs a lot more funding and attention, it's not to blame for what people do with the rest of their lives.

  3. For over 8 years now, his supporters have been interviewed. These aren't cherry-picked from a vast majority of intelligent, conscientious, caring people. I'll certainly concede that not every one of them is the exact same. But to support him, unless you're super rich, carries with it a deficiency, because he just plain isn't qualified. That means they're with him for some other reason(s), or else they're too unqualified to know he is. And since those reasons involve him being "an outsider," i.e., not at all qualified, and therefore aren't because he's the best pick because of policies that are for the good of the country and the world, then those supporters are voting for the worst possible reason(s). That's the issue here, which isn't being avoided.

  5. I believe it, because only 1% of American adults read more than 5 books per year, for their own growth and pleasure.
