I'd bet on Obama knowing more about geography than all of the previous Republican and most of the Democratic presidents combined. <br /><br />Have you seen this article about people living in "deep poverty" yet? <br /><br />http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/12/extreme-poverty-unemployment-recession-economy-fresno<br /><br />Something came to me while reading the comments, the difference between the older Democratic concept of ending poverty through changing circumstances and behavior and the more recent "Race to the Top" conception. It's exactly the difference between the behaviorist concept of changing people and the deterministic concept of Socio-biology and evo-psy that biology is destiny. I'm pretty sure that the cultural change among the middle-brow based in the difference between those two pseudo-sciences has had an effect in allegedly liberal concepts and attitudes. It might be as influential, at times, as media consolidation has been. I'd look to the program at Chait's old magazine to push The Bell Jar as a significant sign post of the change. <br />The Thought Criminalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381376556757084468noreply@blogger.com
