I get what your saying, and I also agree to an extent that alot of "educated" people are simply just morons with a piece of paper claiming they are something special.
However on the flip side I also think that it should be applauded when someone works hard and gets a degree, and they shouldn't be called idiots.
I would personally prefer to live in a nation with MANY college grads as opposed to FEW college grads. Im not saying there is anything even remotely wrong with not going to college...Its just not for everyone. I mean my Grandfather is my hero and he didnt even graduate high school. Im just saying that the more educated our nation I think the better off we are.
In regards to Obama, the point I was simply trying to make is that someone called his supporters "UN-EDUCATED" and I was pointing out the truth, which is that most of his supporters are actually educated people.
I didnt say they were smarter than everyone else, simply EDUCATED. There is a difference.

Well I'm glad you see where I'm coming from, and I also see where you are coming from. Technically they would be more educated. My main gripe is with the overall logic and intelligence of the average person voting. I don't ,however, take back my comments about some people who receive degrees are still idiots in the end.
Some universities are a joke, and some have degree programs that are a joke. I went to a public university with an extremely high ranked Business School, Engineering School, Physics, and Math. I happened to take advantage of Economics and Math. Some chose something like Family Studies or Communication. Some majors were less work and less intellectual thought, and you could tell by the person's life style and the work they had to do. While I do not randomly go around trashing people like that, I get angry when they happen to open their big mouth about anything and everything just because they received a piece of paper.
