					<description><![CDATA[As I read in another blog, it&#039;s something about the way people see things in a very simple, almost black and white, way.  They are just too uneducated (I won&#039;t say stupid) to appreciate the complexities of any situation.

&lt;blockquote&gt;If you&#039;ve ever heard truckers or factory workers talk to each other itâ??s interesting. You&#039;ll hear a few of them talk like they have all of the worldâ??s problems solved. They solve them with just a few sentences too: â??All the republicans have to do isâ?¦.â? or, â??All we have to do in Iraq isâ?¦â? or, â??To solve our drug problem all we need to do isâ?¦â? or, â??To help our economy thereâ??s just one thing we need to doâ?¦â? [Fill in the blanks]. 

Itâ??s black and white for them. They know the answers; most all of the answers, even though I can tell from their answers that they have never had a good education. (Hint: Most problems are more complex than simplistic solutions can afford). They are ignorant and donâ??t know they are ignorant because they&#039;ve never learned or thought of the complexities of the issues they speak of. If I were to question some of their answers they might probably look at me like I was some kind of Communist or Homosexual (and thatâ??s bad you see).&lt;/blockquote&gt;]]></description>
