Grow up, act like adults, and deal with it
 
Wolfy, we do NOT need someone to tell us what to think or how to behave.
We're all big enough to do that for ourselves

Intellect personified by oneself, to teach others, is the HEIGHT of SELF-IMPORTANCE.

Simply put:
"He who knows does not speak. He who speaks does not know" - Lao Tzu

“He who knows does not speak. He who speaks does not know”

And someone said that!

So only mutes are wise?

Exactly...nor does Laura Bush need the hysterical peanut gallery out here telling HER what to think or how to behave. Disagree with her, sure, but be an adult about it. Only children (and blind ideologues) can't grasp that having a disagreement does not make the other person bad.

By the way, the above is just pure unadulterated poppycock. I get the point of Lao Tzu's quote, and it works for certain contexts. However, intellect, speech (verbal, written, and signing forms), and knowledge sharing teaching) are all hallmarks of what it means to be human.
