I live in a neighborhood populated with Professors from the public university at the end of the street. Over the holidays I was at a cocktail party and my wife slipped and said she had not supported Obama.

The man we were talking to playfully punched her in the arm (we were all 2 or 3 cocktails into the night’s festivities) and he told us she was the first person he had met who did not support Obama. He was sincere. But I don’t think he knows he lives in a bubble.

I’ve often scratched my head over the years wondering why it is that it is so often university professors (and their students) who espouse some of the worst ideas ever foisted on mankind, i.e., communism.
You would think that by their education they would be able to see through the attendant propoganda and analyze the actual results, which consists of huge piles of bodies.
But they ignore the evidence, thus giving rise to my ever growing conviction that you can become so educated as to become stupid. I’ll bet there’s even a mathematical inverse relationship at work there that could predict this……….
