Time to stop sending our kids to college.

Time to stop hiring college grads.

Polls such as this one need to be a little more specific in wording their questions.

To most Americans, the word "country" evokes an emotional response, usually of a positive nature. "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty . . ', etc.

Democrats -- who represent a rather large minority of the voting population -- are mostly hung up on a fiction they've been told by their peers, parents and pedagogues for generations: that "we" are the government. As far as they are concerned, what's good for the government is good for us, the country.

It is not surprising that Democrats are highly supportive of higher education, especially state-sponsored higher education, as the amount of money spent would seem to be worth it: an ever-increasing pool of college graduates steeped in the pot of social justice ready to go forth and change the world, electing Democrats and Socialists as a first step.

Republicans lost the college advantage fifty years ago, and it's unlikely to swing back for another fifty years.

The catalyst? Viet-Nam.
