morons have a right to an opinion, no matter how absurd or imbecilic that opinion might be
I'm one of those who do believe that, but I also believe that it is an ethical duty of the non-morons to help educate the morons when we can and to ignore the absurd and imbecilic when we make important decisions.
Well, I certainly do not believe that "morons have a
right to an opinion, no matter how absurd or imbecilic that opinion might be." However, as a matter of practical politics, one must take the opinions of morons into account, since they make up such a large percentage of the population.
I am in favor of educating morons, when possible, though past history indicates that this is a forlorn enterprise.
It is scarcely possible "to ignore the absurd and imbecilic when we make important decisions," since, so often, in America, it is the absurd and imbecilic who are making the important decisions.
