I hate that word, uneducated. Some of the most educated people I've ever met were also the dumbest and most lacking in common sense.

Intelligence is much more rare and elusive than education. Any moron can get educated, that doesn't make their opinion any more valid; just look at "educated" people's voting habits. They vote according to what the main stream media tells them, because in their university setting they were indoctrinated to believe that the media is totally unbiased and only reports the truth. Education seems to breed more sheep than it does independent thinkers.
