Fuck you, you elitist pig. Knowing how to read and write, and knowing curent affairs is one thing but to strip power away from a large segment of society based on if they went to college or not is asinine.

You know what the funniest thing is about the religous right?
The way they ignore the whole "turn the other cheek"-thingy. I guess they only pick the part of religion that suits them. When you do that with islam, youre a terrorist.
