        Can we ever bounce back from a culture that is so steeped in anti-intellectualism?

        Good point. I'm tired of trying to teach my kids the opposite of what they see modeled by many public figures!

        Maybe you're both right. Are we really going to argue Character vs Intellect?

        Certainly not. By suggesting that character was important I simply wanted to say that education alone isn't enough
