Will this be the year that summer doesn't make it here? Or maybe it will be a scorcher once the current weather moves on. I sure would like to see the sun again!<BR/><BR/>Anti-intellectual may be anathema to the Good Ol' USA and its governing bodies. The more one knows about a subject, object or sentient creature, the less they fear - think of snakes. Not all that bad, really and very interesting creatures, but many are paralyzed by fear just at the sight of one on TV. How hard it is to control a person who has little fear reaction to some highly touted threat (communists, the bomb, terrorists)that is targeted at gaining more and greater control over a chunk of disturbed and distracted citizens. But it is hard to put forth a belief that this country has the top biologists, physicists, rocket scientists, etc. if it also wants to be anti-intellectual. At any rate, the intellectuals seem to be among the first to be "sacrificed" when things get nasty towards the public with military actions and those in power want to get greater control of the people.<BR/><BR/>I think it is our duty to be as intellectually inclined as possible, however, we may need to keep quiet in some circles about it.GypsyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03639866622684337849noreply@blogger.com
