Elitist Entitlement Syndrome (EES): You know, those people who believe they are smarter than everybody else, and therefore, should be making decisions for everyone. They believe this because they have Ivy League educations and live lives above the rest of us.
Some of the smartest people I have ever known never went to college. In fact, some of them never finished high school. And, conversely, people who have degrees are some of the stupidest people...evah!

Why excerpt?
I have a master’s degree but my father, who never went to college, was by far smarter then I could ever dream of being. He just seemed to pick up knowledge and be able to learn from things around him better then most people I know. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that his father died when he was 18 and he needed to take care of his mother, who was already elderly and disabled, and figure out how to do that in the best way possible, making enough money so that she could keep her house and pay her bills. He never thought of himself as better than anyone else, just tried to be the best he could be.
And some folks are just so damned smart that they excerpt from their own inane blogs. You’re elite, in your own stupid blog pimp sorta way. But you’re not going to trick me into giving you a hit.

My father’s family had brilliant minds.
One was a designer of the WW2 bomb site and worked for several high tech firms, like AVCO.
Another owned an injection molding company in New York.
My father was also an inventor and successful businessman. None of them saw a day in college, and may not have been HS grads.
This was, of course, 50-60 years ago.
In my younger days, they amazed me, but all have now passed.
BS.... self explanatory
MS.... more of the same
BA.... barely acceptable
MBA... mediocre but arrogant
PHD... piled higher and deeper
Half of what college teaches is total crap. Education is figuring out which half.
Sorry, I never claimed I was “smart.”
Sorry, I am brand new at this and I never claimed to be “smart.”

Way to pimp your anti-intellectual blog! So do you have a problem with anyone who went to college, or just Ivy-leaguers?
I went to college.
You know me so well. Have we met?
