Yes Agamemnon, I've taken poli-sci classes, albeit centuries ago, including one where a prof uttered something I've never forgotten and used here before - "Seventy-five percent of the people are chronic know-nothings and shouldn't be allowed to vote." Obviously a provocative comment.

Did he get fired for saying it? Was there outrage? Was he
treasonous to say it? Probably not.
Definitely an unpopular thing to say, why nail Churchill and not your old Prof (rhetorical)? [/b][/quote]
If he had written an essay about it expanding on the hate in his heart for the stupid, chronically uniformed and disinterested common men surrounding him, he probably would have picked up a bit more turbulence.
No?
Then again, maybe the majority, thinking he was talking about someone else, would have agreed with him!!
