Joel,
You may well be right, but at least those votes would not be based on
ignorance. The end result, I'll admit, may not be much different. There's
probably some theological truth in there somewhere.

Given the voting tendencies of most academics, I suppose that the "Revenge
of the A student" may be equally frightful.

Tim,
I've heard comments such as, "I don't accept fundamental tenets of science
and I vote" as "The Revenge of the D Student." Seen in that light, the
comment is not funny, when our future is decided (humanly speaking) by an
ignorant electorate.
