   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
