    A favorite Talib Kweli verse/quote, from "The Proud":

    Peoplez with knowledge is more dangerous than than peoplez with guns
    They make the guns easy to get and try to keep peoplez dumb...

    Dictators, despots and tyrants the world over hate knowledge and an intelligent population.

    Just look at history and what happened in countries where Communism took over. The first people they went after were the intellectuals and journalists and the like. Generally speaking the ignorant lowest peasants were left alone - as long as they didn't make waves. These rulers all wanted an ignorant population that they could control.

    Does this sound familiar?

    The first thing that came to my mind when I read the title of this thread was "It is dangerous!"
