Agrees with Rapaire, and loves the quotation; in fact without looking who dares even mention evidence?

Since public forums and society on the internet, I have learned that not only is ADHD common among US college students, other less known fixations - too much drugs and sex and dyslexions etc - often accompany higher intelligence.

Sooo instead of finding an intelligent person at the other end of the
perfectly scripted post, one often finds a lying nutcase with a highschool cert; and at the other end of the slapped-out badly organised misspelled post one finds real people with brains, some of which are gifted.

In fact during WW2 in the UK when the chips were down and genius had to be found, few if any were graduates and even less could speak let alone write perfect English prose.

Therefore I assert here that a persons ability to write textbook English is a sign of a fusspot not a genius, that people who seek and obtain with great labor letters after their name are weakminded nerds with an inferiority complex, and that those invited into research while yet undergraduates are the real brains who truely deserve the title 'Doctor'. ( standard procedure in the old days BSc > Phd otherwise the person got an MA and was regarded politely OC as an idiot with a degree )

I assert that those dweebs who hang on in College for half a lifetime to get MAs and Ph Ds devalue the University and its awards in our society.

Therefore I would like to see new standards which again enable the gifted to protect us from the insanity of Iraq, Enron, Nasa, Nato etc etc.

In short, if we allow these idiots to run society then when things go wrong we can only blame ourselves. I say kick em out, kick em down and bury them forever!
