“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 (1980)
