" Probably educated in public schools too."

That's pretty much a gurantee. There's a difference between "Chicken Little" and a realist. Too bad there are, as in 1931, too many who label someone who is realistic as a "chicken little" or "doom and gloomer". I suppose that makes anyone who is aware of economic and political history an anti-Republican plant. Too bad FR has fallen so far, so fast.
