Even if it was true, it would still be stupid. Of course, the military is important and we need them, but we also [i]need[/i] people to put burgers on buns. Almost every job has its place and is important in some way or another. I don't ask that fry cooks, or anyone else, be paid an exorbitant amount of money, but everyone should be given a living wage. That being said, I could rant about political propaganda all day, especially on the Conservative side. But for the sake of time, I'll stick to what irks me the most: The Republican party's [b]Obsession[/b] with degrading educated people and organizations. Climate Change is where I see it worst. Seriously, who do you think knows more about climate? Politicians, or thousands of scientists who were trained specifically TO STUDY THE -blam!-ING CLIMATE? But people still buy into their bullshit. They actually convince people that it's a Liberal conspiracy to push Socialism and control our lives. I even know people who think the Earth continuously makes oil so we'll never run out. It's not hard to realize that they're being lobbied by big oil, car companies, etc, etc to say what they say-- but some people are clearly just really, REALLY absurdly stupid. Degrading universities and professors is pretty common too. I listen to Conservative radio every day, and they're frequently discouraging people from sending their kids to college, claiming they're "propaganda machines that turn teens into Liberals". No, they teach people to think critically, which is clearly not something members of the Republican party do. What does it say about a group of people when they actively try to stop people from education themselves? It says that their philosophy is so -blam!-ing paper thin that they need stupid people to believe in it.
