“Conservatives are reviled by today’s [self defined] more-educated youth”
because every generation of liberals thinks they are smarter and wiser than anyone else that ever existed in history,
until they grow up and figure out that traditional values actually DO work better, and they aren’t so damn smart after all.
Anybody who thinks today's youth are more educated hasn't taught undergrads very recently. I have: it's like running a high-school.
Conservatives are reviled by today's "more educated" youth because these utes are wasting their time remediating elementary arithmentic instead of learning genuine economics. If Duke Professors want to edify the public, they ought to spend some time explaining why gasoline is so expensive, instead of wasting bandwidth and paper on trivial conversions. There is no difference between miles per gallon and gallons per mile. If the public were not so innumerate, articles like these would be laughed off the Internet.
