<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrholdout, post: 2902820, member: 89654&quot;]I&#039;ve seen the term &#039;anti-intellectual&#039; thrown out glibly the last few pages in this thread. What exactly is the meaning here? Sure it&#039;s a clever way to belittle unorthodox points of view. Does one become an &#039;intellectual&#039; through having shelled out 100k to sit in classrooms for years? That&#039;s a little presumptuous. Just sayin&#039; . . .</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve met plenty of college kids that come out 4/6/8 years later as dumb as dirt. And farmers who can barely spell that can rebuild the world if necessary. It&#039;s not all about the &#039;certificates&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know, a &#039;trollish&#039; comment, but the &#039;anti-intellectual&#039; brand is silly. But if you&#039;re going after the text-speak grammar and spelling . . . bene. Our standards of literacy are in free fall.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
