Reply to comment by Load_Altruistic in I read an article about Missouri’s House cutting funding to their libraries and it made me really sad. by poopmaester41

I'm partial to Asimov's quote myself:

>“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge’.”

Hey, Vonnegut’s a very quotable guy, I just figured he had a quote floating around I haven’t seen before!

He might! It’s actually likely that he does considering the nature of his works. But I was definitely thinking of the Asimov quote and for some reason thought it was Vonnegut who said it….
