" The Peasants " might become ISIS terrorists

New space telescope
As a democratic Socialist I can only encourage any and every advance of human knowledge. In the final analysis, organized-and expensive- science research serves all humanity.I would not make this mean spirited remark : the interests of the ONE PERCENT is more important than the well being of the " peasantry " - like kids poisoned by toxic water in Flint Michigan- a gift of General Motors and their capitalist politicians.Those kids- brain damaged by lead poisoning - might have become research scientists themselves . In his book " The Demon Haunted World " Carl Sagan makes the point that the common people -" the peasants "- must not become estranged from the world of science.They could turn on it- like ignorant and furious ISIS terrorists.
The  ignorant" peasants " could become furious ISIS terrorists
