Tom DeLay has been indicted. Nothing substantive to say about it at the moment. But reactions at law school today were generally ecstatic. I heard many people denigrating the life and educational experience of "The Exterminator". One criticism was that he was "only" a high school graduate (though, according to this Wikipedia article, he has a bachelor's in biology). It was suggested to me that there should be a rule requiring higher education in order to run for Congress and perhaps even to vote - it was said that only a lack of education could explain why people would ever vote for people like DeLay. Were these peers of mine, then, admitting that their political views are generally instilled only after years of exposure to them after high school as young adults? And, if so, what does that say about the validity of those views?
