Well, it certainly wasn’t on the 10 Poorest States list. That honor belongs, in descending order, to Oklahoma, South Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee, New Mexico, Kentucky, Alabama, West Virginia, Arkansas, and once again bringing up the economic rear, Mississippi.
Well, at least Calvin has knowledge about what happens if you don’t have knowledge. But being able to see things in their true complexity requires more than simply knowledge. It also requires a willingness to do so.
The scary thing is that Congress gets to vote on bills regarding education, science, health care, economics, energy, transporation, national defense and the whole plethora of what affects out lives and they are not qualified in any of these fields.
And yet they claim that they “know better” than their consitutents. And they are happy which does go to prove that ignorance is bliss.
If we can have artificial intelligence, why is stupidity always so real?
Good leaders never let facts keep them from making quick decisions. As long as you think you know everything, you’ll never doubt yourself and that kind of confidence inspires followers to make whatever less-than-optimal course of action you decide manage to work anyway.

Personally I can relate to Calvin, I find I annoy many people in an argument when I can argue both for and against something.

Political chatter aside, at first I thought Hobbes said in the last panel, “At least you act like it.”
