When did it become a TRUTH OF LIFE that to be “highly educated” automatically means that one has an ounce of brains in their heads?
Who does not know an individual, hard working, moral, ethical, reliable, and possessing an overwhelming supply of COMMON SENSE, yet scorned because of a “limited education”?
We are in trouble because we have come to proclaim that he who is well learned in their personal field, must be equally proficient in ALL fields.
In example, some of the most brilliant doctors I’ve ever known, should have been locked up for their own protection when NOT working in their field. The same holds for too many people.

A wise man I once knew used to characterize these pompous windbag pundits as "educated beyond their intelligence."

Kristof--another ivy league einstein. sheesh.
