Back in 1974 the family was camping in Sequoia National Park. In the evening, when it's time to enjoy the sounds of the forest, the campers at the next site where playing music rather loudly. It was classic music, but nonetheless drowning out the sounds of nature. You wonder why they came to camp.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always 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
