What I don't understand, considering your repeated attempts to cast yourself as the populist against political and academic elitism, is why you post here. If you truly think the educated are a social class detached from the particular concerns of the 'serf majority', then why bother discussing any issue intellectually? I have no respect for someone who believes intellectualism or education are negative things, because they've simply consigned themselves to ignorance in an effort to justify their beliefs.
If you're this type of person, truly so locked in your quotidian life that you're unwilling to accept that your opinion is not the best simply because you hold it, and that there are different levels of discourse, ranging from pub conversations to truly educated discussions about intellectual ideas, then why bother with a site which advertises itself as an 'evolution'? Why deliberately join a forum where people are attempting to advance their intellectual understandings of things to be the stick in the mud who is nothing more than an anti-intellectual?
