I thought some of you would enjoy the clip from one of the reviews:

"Based on ****'s previous work, he will involve scads of students in the research effort. One can't argue with that given the drift of 40% of our voters away from rational thought (although the state of California isn't the source of that problem). "

Winston Churchill apparently once said, "The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."

One of the downsides of freedom of choice is that people are free to choose badly.

I ponder quite regularly the problem of education in society. It's a catch-22. Those who are educated understand the importance of education and have a desire to become more educated. Those who are lacking in education have no desire for further education and many go so far as to shun education as something bad.
