True, that would be great. But how many of the remaining 42 percent 
consider themselves educated, but are nevertheless content to mindlessly 
repeat mickey mouse platitudes and propaganda spoon-fed to them from on 
high, and who couldn't pass a rudimentary econ 101 test if their lives 
depended on it?

More analysis, less rhetoric.
