Quote of the day

"As people do better, they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing." is generally attributed to Rove. referenced to "The Daily Texan" of 19 March 2001; unconfirmed.

Interesting that one can have "to much education". Equally interesting is how it might be tied into voting propensities. Does it perhaps mean that you don't have to be an illiterate, ill informed drop out from the educational system to be a Right-wing Republican ... but it helps.

I wonder if there's some correlation, inverse or otherwise, between amount of education and distance to the right? Do you find yourself moving further to the left with more education?

No wonder "No Child Left Behind" is structured and underfunded the way it is!!
