rural america is not anti intellectual. No one respected "book larning" more than the farmers that didn't have it. But they have no patience with double talkers, con-men, spin docters, or anyone trying to convince them the truth is juat a matter of opinion. If you speak in a straight forward manner about your thoughts and beliefs you'll at least get a honest hearing before the tar and feathers come out. By the way, please advise John Kerry that not one of them gave a shit about who the europeans think should be president. We suspect them of being intellectuals, maybe even socialists.
