Don’t confuse what is learned on the street and merits earned from a gov employee as wisdom... it is just a license to earn more, collect more taxes, and leach more money from the productive.

Don’t confuse what I said as defending government employees.

What I was doing is pointing out that simply because an individual possesses an advanced degree he it does not necessarily follow that he is educated or wise.

I would also point out that the fact that a person does not have an advanced degree does not necessarily mean that the person is not educated or wise.

It was never true but it especially true today given the state of higher education in this country.

Abraham Lincoln never attended neither a high school nor a college and yet was a respected lawyer, statesman and President of the United States.
