American Anti-Intellectualism

What Katie Couric says here is undeniably true.

There is a palpable resentment of educated people who understand science, and push for all the tenets of the U.S. Constitution: due process, the balance of powers, the states’ rights to regulate their elections, the emoluments clause, etc.

I believe that this can’t last forever; it’s a fad not unlike the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, that vanished just as mysteriously as it arrived.

Of course, not everyone feels that way.  Check out what Isaac Asimov had to say on the matter, below.
