        @neiltyson Everything boils down to education. There is not a problem in the world that cannot be solved with better educated people.

        @neiltyson I think this is partially because conservatives/Republicans don't trust people... So they live where there are fewer people...

        @neiltyson wasn't it a G.W. Bush advisor that said you can't educate people too much or they'll vote democrat?
