No matter what everyone is saying these days, having a good
education doesn't make you a better American. When George Washington realized
his Continental Army didn't know left from right he put hay in 1 foot and straw
in the other. Therefore, when his men marched you heard the cry "hay foot,
straw foot."
These probably were the most committed men to the American
democracy we ever had. They survived the winter at Valley Forge and beat the strongest
army on earth at that time. Apart from Audie Murphy and Sgt. York they were
probably the finest men we ever send into battle.
So we need to be careful in an election year where the
whites without a college degree are considered in Trump's pocket. Decency and
openness have always been the hallmarks of good Americans. In this coming
election, you can't assume a guy with a high school education can't discern if
someone's a blowhard and a liar.
