cbelt3, if you had read the article, then you'd know that your "fix" of the quote is an incorrect assessment. In the article, when the liberal was presented with their boogeyman - nuclear energy, the more educated liberal, when reading the facts and studies, was less likely to be a rabid "no-nuke" person, and more likely to modify his/her position to accommodate the new facts. This is the opposite of the educated conservative, who didn't want to hear new facts or accept new facts.
