This has nothing to do with investing in education. Yes, we need to do that, but it won't change how ignorant people are (or can become) in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. Do you expect "education" to go door to door, checking to be sure everyone continues to educate themselves? Over a decade or two, after formal education, you start to forget what you had learned, if you don't reinforce it. And if you spend 3-4 decades, after graduating, neither reading nor practicing critical thinking, then your brain does the mental equivalent of physical atrophy. Imagine these people lying in their beds for decades. You think they're reading to run? Or even walk? The responsibility is on them to continue to educate themselves. And since we don't require continuing adult education in this country, they chose long ago to be unintelligent.

@glenncurry3041 I'd like to believe that you're well read: so well read, in fact, that you also read the Bible enough to find those quotes, despite not being a believer. But, since I neither believe nor disbelieve anything, I think it's far more likely that you copied that from somewhere. And that person copied it, etc. Regardless, that's some extreme cherry picking. I can say that, because I am well read enough that I also read the Bible, and I can tell you took all of that out of context. It's the same old junk every person who wants to be Hitch trolls with. But you ain't Hitch: not by a long shot. I know, since I made that claim, about it being out of context, the burden of proof is on me. But I'm eating right now. And explaining how wrong this troll is about four different verses would take more time than I care to waste. You can check him yourselves, by reading the entire chapter he mentioned for each of the four verses, if you like. You probably don't won't to spend that time proving a troll wrong either. Maybe later, if I'm bored, and people want to know the context, I'll do a write up.

@glenncurry3041 It was not in context. Your own commentary pointed that out. Your quote from Luke 19:27 was not about actually slaying all of the enemies. It was, as you said, about spreading the gospel--which is a Greek word for "good news." And that good news is we feel better when we love one another; and worse when we hate. Left alone that quote is about LITERALLY killing enemies. So it was totally out of context, AS YOU SHOWED. That was only one of the four verses. Care to try for the other three, and see how many of your feet can fit in your mouth? The Biblical text has its problems, real problems. You don't need to make up any.

@alphanerd7221 Is that really all you had to say about what I wrote? That's all you got from it? Besides, I checked, and don't see that I used the phrase "more ignorant." Maybe next time write more than one sentence, so I know what you're talking about.

@alphanerd7221 "Most of it was dumb enough on its face that it didn't need to be addressed." So no examples, no explanation. Just your claim. Okay, troll, suit yourself.

@alphanerd7221 "So you are whining becuase you didn't get enough attention." Where do you see whining in my writing? There's no whining. You stated something, claimed something, without giving any explanation or proof. I gave you two chances to do clarify. Now I'm done with you. Muting you, and happy to never hear from your dumas (sp) again.
