Post #406,873 by mmoffitt 12/10/15 10:25:37 AM Reply	Heh. My 23 yo and 25 yo disagree. Of course, of course, you'll say that's my influence. But I can assure you, with both of them having been away from me at college the last 5 years, my influence with them is marginal at best. ;0)

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

Post #406,876 by mmoffitt 12/10/15 10:32:46 AM Reply	Perhaps with the youngest. But, the oldest is in Hillary's camp! And believe me, I had nothing to do with that. She feels Bernie is too left for her tastes, but concedes that Obama failed to deliver on his progressive promises - probably much to her delight I'm afraid to say. I work with several 20-30 yos but nearly all of them are fans of Fox News who think Hillary is a flaming liberal and Bernie is a Communist.

Post #406,883 by mmoffitt 12/10/15 3:50:30 PM Reply	I don't think they're curious enough to even know about that. If Fox doesn't report on it and Rush Limbaugh doesn't say anything about it, then they've never heard of it. If either does say anything about it, it will be swallowed entirely without question.
