That's funny. It's nice when people make some effort to be friendly, I agree.

In most of the country, upper income people vote conservative and Republican.

New York City is unusual in that even upper income people tend to be Democrats/liberal here. Staten Island is an exception in NYC.

When did I ever say that conservative people aren't educated or are stupid or are poor?

(In addition, by the way, one can be uneducated and NOT stupid; plenty of people without an education are smart. Education and smarts are not the same).
That's a good point. And there are also some very educated people who lack social intelligence.

I'm sure that a smart person with no formal education would make an excellent hunter and gatherer.

What's so descriptive about civilized? Decent? It's better, but what's the point? It's like "they don't suck that bad!"

You know what your mom said - if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all! Do moms say that in the former Yugoslavia? Sometimes less is more.

Having been to a handful of clearly uncivilized nations, I find it absurdly PC to deny that people like that exist, en masse in a large part of the world even today.
