Uneducated power politics

by Padek

Whoever said that the uneducated don’t hold much power were wrong. They really determined the last two US elections. Have a look at the chart below depicting the last election in red (primarily Cons) and blue (primarily Dems) states.
Red versus blue states

Now compare that chart with the following illustration displaying the percentage of the population that underwent less than 9 years of education.
Less than 9 years of education

The similarities between these two charts are uncanny. Apparently, a red state is an uneducated state to a high degree. The US president was chosen by the educationally challenged. World power politics initiated by those that lack knowledge. Ouch!

It is time the world gets a US president based on an educated vote. Your vote?

  1. U r my hero!  Shall we give 1000 questions at the poll regarding what the candidates stand on?  Instead of punching or selecting candidates, voters pick the candidates’ answers or should the voters get tested on candidate’s platform prior to voting and if they fail - they cannot vote?  Candidates’ name should not be on the ballot but their stands on issues?  Oyai!  Yung! Lai!

  2. Hello Anonymous, I see you’re still around, and decide to be AnonyMouse this time, but you’re still HAHA, Suksabaidee, and Funny, obviously you don’t disguise yourself very well.  Funny that you should call anyone Oyai!  Yung! Lai! Because it seems to have described you well.  You come in here to just insult people, you are a typical Troll, incase you need me to spell it out for you here is the definition of you, Troller is looking for a response…ANY response, and he will chum the waters with complaints, insults, compliments, and inflammatory tidbits hoping that someone…ANYONE, will take the bait. Generally quite harmless - practices a form of catch and release. Nonetheless, he can upset the delicate ecology of a discussion forum. Once a forum becomes aware of his presence, however, all feeding activity ceases and Troller must move on to more promising waters. Might be time for Darly to ban you or you moving along because your word don’t mean much to us, oh and this post is for you to educate yourself about the candidates so that you won’t blindly vote because someone told you to…don’t be like the water buffaloes now, don’t let anyone TIE that rope around your nostril.

  3. Exclamation! Too Much Difficult!  Not insult Boss King!
