I'm a university student. I was just in a PolSt class in which the ppl in the class continually said that the public is stupid, uneducated, uniformed and that is the reason why they did not vote. It makes me mad when upper-middle class white folks, who have never had to work a day in their life say, (and one actually did) that gas attendents are stupid and backwards. Once I have a degree I will be in the top 15% of the Canadian population in terms of education but not in terms of intelligence. Of course, when you call them on it, like I did, they protest and claim that the public is ill informed not stupid but when you listen, I mean really listen, to their comments they are saying that the public is stupid. They are just elite, middle-class wasps. Whatever. It makes me mad. There is great pride and self-accomplishment that can be had in a career that isn't university. They think that university is the only way to go if you want a career or even a fullfilling life. It really makes me mad. Thanks. I feel better after my rant!
