Ignorance Redux 2

One of the great American historians of the mid-twentieth century, Richard Hofstadter, wrote a wonderful book, which documented the United States’s love-hate relationship with learning and inquiry.

It was true then. It is true now.

Notice to Oklahoma: Legislation does not change facts. You see, facts have this one uncomfortable property.

Facts are.

    Seriously, ignorance is everywhere. But there are times it does seem to be more concentrated in Oklahoma. They don’t recognize brains come in all packages. Even when those brains aren’t talking about something they agree with.

    Correction: ESPECIALLY when those brains are talking about something they don’t agree with.
