Very well said, Phil!
What has always been interesting is the question of,.. being "smart"
or being "intelligent" and/or being both or neither (an idiot,.. and
we are ALL idiots at on time or another).
Sadly, many people don't understand the difference or care to want to
know.
Anyhow,... although it's off topic... thank you for writing this!
I'm always fascinated by those who gauge others by the plaques on
their walls or notches on their belt.
Ah never mind,... I guess we need a good ole caste system to sort all
this out!?!!?
Damn!!? We basically do have them... colleges... the ivy
leagues...!?!?!
=2E. (it's ok, we have ****ing idiots ruling the world... we will be
just fine,... oh well.)
