But the more I think about the "pearls before swine" admonition, the more I find that the only useful response I can muster is:

  1. I'd hope he was speaking more to intention than capacity. But after forty years of a shrinking education dollar in america, there is a mistrust of intellectuality. I prefer the scientific method to religious lore for problem solving, but the intention to misuse either for nefarious purposes is difficult to weed out.
