Conservatives And Liberals' Education Levels

Explains a lot.:
Alan: Some of the best people I know -- people with whom I socialize more than I socialize with fellow white Americans -- do not have high school diplomas.

One friend, with whom I spend more time than any other person, is illiterate.

Even so, responsible citizenship in a modern society requires an understanding of the Scientific Method, respect for the peer-reviewed findings of Science and enough understanding of statistics to prevent the simpleminded error of assuming that anecdotal evidence establishes valed "norms." (No, Martha, a frigid blizzard in April does NOT refute global warming.)
