Actually, while we're talking about a lack of perspective, the people I know who either have or are pursuing at least an undergraduate university education outnumber the people I know who don't have one and are not planning on getting one. However, only a little less than a third of Americans have college degrees.

Most of the people whom I know that don't have a college education are mostly family descended from my paternal grandmother's sisters and brothers. Most of the people I meet through either accident or through others I know are educated.

It's not hard to see how people can develop a lack of perspective due to circumstance.
