You are quite wrong on a point or two (you may work on that on your own time),and many others who deal in the God-awful world are tiring of the "laid back hippiedom" look many of us thought was "kinda fun" way back when, but now it might well bode the majority of the country to shape up just a bit.

Or maybe not. Depends on your opinion.

Three thousand dead working Americans doesn't fit my description of "laid back", regardless of the occasional throwback you may have considered to be "smart".

Have no idea what this sentence means or what three thousand dead Americans has to do with the topic at hand.

This comment, " The smartest guy I ever knew wore a torn up budweiser t-shirt half the time ..." And what, the rest of the time he went "nekkid"?

Pretty much.

What is your criteria for "smartest man I knew"?

My criteria for that would be, out of all the people I have known, the smartest one.

Please define smart

Well, this guy was a physicist. They have to be pretty smart (even the fairly dumb ones). Another fellow I knew wore flannel shirts and those brown boots with fluorescent orange shoe laces. He worked on the Space Shuttle which, I guess, makes him a rocket scientist. He is damn smart also. Much smarter than the bank teller wearing the suit and tie down at my Bank of America despite appearances and shallow stereotypes about spiffy dressers.

and when did you quit knowing (from your own statement) any smart (more or less) people?

I think it was somewhere earlier in this thread.

Your absolute ambiguity and admission that you deal with those who cannot or will not dress themselves has nothing to do with the real world, since you have admitted belonging to the less smart class of posters who put so many others above you, therefore your arguments are also of a lesser degree to match your self-confessed inferiority.

Why should anyone here engage you in any sort of intelligent and fact based discussion, when the only intelligence you refer to are others in the basic fields of physics and the lesser tile-setting on the Space Shuttle.

Word has just been received that you enjoy the reaction between felines and Super-Glue, therefore, this discussion is meaningless.

Good luck on your next job...
