The only judge of brain functioning is evolution--not the fashionable behavior that fools in each age and culuture call intelligence.

"If you are really stupid, I would call that a disease," says Watson

In his world, if you didn't get your doctorate until after age 26 you may be borderline sentient.

I think that if common sense and common courtesy were once again common the world would be a much better place.

Now, to erradicate stupidity, my question is ,"Will that also erradicate ignorance?"

Look for yet another long rant by LaBelleDameSansMerci talking about the right of people to be stupid as a matter of genetics, how evil it is to be able to allow them intelligence, and how it is all the fault of the Bushes, Henry Kissinger and the GOP.

Askel will follow close behind.
