How Lakoff came up with a theory on people becoming Conservative when he has no understanding of what constitutes Conservatism is beyond me. Regardless, it is funny and somewhat disturbing to read which drinking fountains the sophists are currently pissing in. While reading Zombietime's recent report on the Markos, Blades and Lakoff pow wow, Hoffer's brilliant insight on education in our increasingly efficient society came to mind. Hoffer writes, "no one foresaw that the education explosion made possible by advanced technology would swamp societies with hordes of educated nobodies who want to be somebodies and end up being mischief-making busybodies.”
