Basically, if you've been alive longer than three decades and are still a democrat or believe in government solutions to anything...you have mad cow disease and don't know it. The spongiform encephalitis is rampant throughout the world and it manifests in thinking that giving the government power to redistribute other people's money is somehow just and moral - and even worse - results in more wealth for everyone. It's latter stages involve sitting, drooling in a overstuffed couch with a cupholder watching Jon Stewart and finding him incredibly funny.

There are three types of people in this world. The idiots, Those who are really intelligent and those that are learned. The first are the byproduct of genetic & reproductive laissez faire, academia produces the last group and that rare middle group is becoming statistically near extinct and narrowly avoid regimentation/indoctrination during their time getting their degrees or are self taught using history or simply life experience and the younger ones I see emerging today are smart enough to use existing reams of data on the internet, while filtering the signal-to-noise ratio and can extrapolate logic & reason from this data and use it to form a philosophy and consciously directed course to their actions.

No need for "absolute" truth so long as one is smart enough to not play on railroad tracks, stick your tongue to a freezing metal pole and can recognize that all politicians are generally lying, self-serving incompetents that couldn't get a real job or have real marketable skills and need to become bureaucrats, spending other people's money while taking a cut in order to feed themselves.

And as pertaining to white poverty the fact of the matter is the least intelligent people reproduce the fastest. The least intelligent whites reproduce the fastest as well, but statistically they are still a global minority. Go figure. One can extrapolate those statistics to come up with real hard facts.

But real hard facts aren't popular with that huge first group mentioned earlier and in some parts of the world can get you killled or graded down by academia that profit by fostering self-serving lies to the "learned" group and exploiting the idiots while pandering to them.

If the individuals in academia were animals they would be remora fishes. I can think of some other appropo examples which I'll keep to myself for now.
