Aaaaaaaaaw shit! IT. IS. ON.
I suppose Sebastian's take on this issue is not all that surprising. But still, he frames the issue in the type of nice, broad absolutisms that lend themselves to easy rebuttal. C'mon people, will nobody defend the rube's wisdom against the effete intellectual's education?

What they're missing is that the these high fallutin' coastal measures of intelligence are not coastal at all - they're universal.

I think one of the issues the Heartlanders have with the Coastal Types is that the Coastal Types believe you can substitute all sorts of words ("morality," "common sense") for "intelligence" in the above sentence and have it rung just as true. The delusion of the absolute universality of one's own belief structure is a dangerous hubris. It's like religion.
