There is a difference between being highly intelligent and having a high degree of common sense. The lack of common sense seems to be a growing trend among a lot of people. Einstein could not tie his shoes, yet he is considered one of the greatest intelligent people in the world. A person can be a genius to the highest order, but if that person can not apply what he or she knows, then his or her intelligence is worthless.

Yeah, but you certainly can't say Einstein's intelligence was worthless.

." Einstein could not tie his shoes,"
According to who? I find this sounds a little too much like an urban legend sort of statement.

JFK and Bobby were certainly as smart as their father and maybe Joe Jr. too.
