I'm ignoring irrelevancies.
No. You're spouting opinions about a subject you refuse to get educated on.
I live in Western Kentucky. Believe me, I'm well educated on the opinions of a good segment of society toward environmentalists. And, like them or not, Kentuckians and people of similar mindset vote; it might be wise to at least acknowledge that their opinions are what they are.
It doesn't matter how educated your on their opinions. You can't judge them unless you understand environmentalism.
