It seems to me that Conservatives fear intellectuals the most, since educated people ask inconvenient questions. Intellectualism has become a swear word in certain circles.

America is also among those nations that make it the most difficult for a larger number to get any kind of degree. Everything's for sale, including education. And if your parents got no money, chances are you're working at Mc Donalds instead of Wall Street.
