Agree!! No intelligence!! We need to add the "Dixie Chicks" to the no intelligence list, too.

[Erasmus]

Actually, the list is of "schooling". Many people who are schooled are not well educated. Conversely, many people who are not multiple-year schooled, are quite intelligent. Much intelligence (knowledge) comes from living the life and walking the walk - not just talking the talk.

Rush Limbaugh is the most remarkable example I have seen.

He's been frank about the frustration he experienced in his short college career. But look how hard he worked to educate himself when he finally put his mind to it.

Harry S Truman and the philosopher Eric Hoffer come also to mind, although there are countless others we'll never hear about. Oh, maybe also Dilbert's garbage man (^B{>.

The larger point is that a true education (in the classic University sense) is to learn how to learn. Once you have that and the desire to do so, then you embark on your real, lifelong education.

Some people don't need college to get the idea, and some do. Most tragic are the cases where college stifles the urge to real learning; I fear that there's more of that than ever on campuses today.

. . . true education is to learn how to learn.

Absolutely.
And it seems that most "higher" education does indeed stifle "learning to learn".

[Darnright]

Bumped and Bookmarked! (LOL)

[Warrior Nurse]

If brains were dyanamite they couldn't blow their noses!

Where's Whoppi Goldberg who had the nerve and all to talk about Dr Rice. They call GW arrogant.

[Democratshavenobrains]

The emptyheads at DUh are bragging about how this can't be true, since they are sooooooooooooo smart and against the war. I bet the only A's they saw in school were on their i hate Ronald Reagan posters.

Great post!

...Comparing the strong intellect and experience of the Bush Administration to the Hollywood Braintrust is like trying to compare a Bose system to a Boombox.

this is good thanks

[Rockitz]

Yes this is a good piece, but it's also about the 4th time this has been posted here. Doesn't anyone use the search feature before they post?

Cindy Osborne is at WPTF-AM in Raleigh, NC. The article is also posted here at http://www.mwarrior.com/celebsVwar.htm

Searched, did not find, posted. Sorry - must not be as competent as you. You must make a wonderful boss.

[Lando Lincoln]

Thought I'd follow-up. I am careful about searching and I have, I think, a good track record. If you go to the source URL, as I posted, there is no title or author referenced. Since WLS is very reliable, I felt it was worthy of a post. I gave it my own title - and posted. The admin moderator, in turn, re-titled the post and gave Ms. Osborne proper credit as author. So, at least one poster in this forum tied to search and was stung by perhaps, his own clumsiness. Hope you have a great day!

[Rockitz]

You must be feeling a bit guilty for your personal dig at me- 2 responses to my comments??? Sorry - must not be as competent as you.

Lando, don't be so hard on yourself. I received this in an e-mail and suspected it was probably posted on FR somewhere, so I searched and found it in a search of the title.

You must make a wonderful boss.

As it turns out you are quite right. Thanks for your observation. I am very easy going, a servant leader, and am beloved by both my colleagues and employees. Have a great day!

[Phaedrus]

Big Brain-Dead Liberal Bump ...

[Lando Lincoln]

Hey C'mon Rockitz,

Not feeling guilty at all - I was just merely trying to explain that I attempted a search. The moderators apparently felt it was okay since they changed the piece to the correct title and added the author's name.

And, really, I hope your day has been a good one!

[ncdrumr]

I received this in an email and passed it on to a few liberal "friends." One reply I got was, "Thanks for the right-wing propaganda." Heh-heh. The truth hurts.
