"In politics and in life, ignorance is not a virtue. It's not cool to not know what you're talking about. That's not keeping it real, or telling it like it is. That's not challenging political correctness. That's just not knowing what your talking about."
"When our leaders express a disdain for facts, when they're not held accountable for repeating falsehoods, and are just making stuff up while actual experts are dismissed as elitist, then we've got a problem. The rejection of of facts, the rejection of reason and science -- that is the path to decline."
-- President Barack Obama, commencement address, Rutgers University, 5/15/16
