Progressives/liberals/Democrats constantly tout the value of "education".. college ,etc. YET if education so important then why for example since Jan 2009 the EPA alone has issued 24,915 pages of NEW regulations?
In simpler words, it doesn't make any sense that "educated" people need 24,915 MORE pages of rules and regulations when the "educated" person should from their education KNOW that fundamentally anything that has a negative affect on the environment i.e. "Environmental PA" area of responsibility would they do it?
New EPA Regs Issued Under Obama Are 38 Times as Long as Bible | CNS News

Or even simpler.
Why would an "educated" person do something that would harm others because the educated person wouldn't want others to do the same to harm the educated person.


Or simpler ..."Do unto others as you would have others do unto you"


Or does even these simple illustrations go over the head of the "educated"?

In summary if education is SO important why are MORE rules and regulations needed?

After all , the truly "educated" person KNOWs their responsibility to society and would not do things for example
that would harm the environment because after all an educated person knows the better... right?
