Thought for today - 05/26/2013

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov

Alas, so true. Especially with the celebration of "dumbness" that was the 2000 and 2004 general (presidential) election.

WARNING! POLITICAL MEMORY KICKING IN!

I will never forget a friend...at least, I thought we were friends....saying that he chose George W. Bush over John Kerry because, "At least Bush is like most of us...a black and white kind of guy...Kerry is too nuanced."

"Too nuanced"? When did that become a penalty against one's character?

Even more prophetic are Mr. Asimov's words as I believe they were first uttered back in the late 1950s.

Nice quote, Miki. But a suggestion: Rather than make these stand-alone "thought for the days", why not just continue your previous thread? We started with Kant ...and now Asimov... just keep this one or the other going...or combine them. Perhaps Kierkegaard is next...

With love,

T.Rex
