In a recent spout, a Court House spouter made it painfully obvious that he/she did not know the meaning of the word "socialism." Thankfully, the editor inserted the correct definition. This is a glaring example of how poorly-educated and uninformed people in this county are. It is at no fault of their own. For years, the powers of political correctness have been dumbing down America, and creating a reverse snobbery, in which people who work hard, get good educations and become successful are looked down upon by an increasingly ignorant, Internet-educated population. We are doomed.
