Subject: RE: BS: Are You Bitter???
Painting inteelegent people who just might happen to be smarter than you are "elitists" goes back to Bush I and he passed it down to his kids who have learned it well and now Hillary has picked up on it as well...

The problem with this strategy, as I see it, is that it panders to those who with the least education at the expense of those who have pushed for higher learning... And this problem has created a ripple effect in our governemtn's policies which for the last 7 years have not been very "intellegent"... Our tax dollars are being spent for "flat earth" scientists, for old school military leader (think Runsfeld, Wolfowitz and Pearle here), for EPA administrators who have their jobs not because that know anything about the EPA but because they are anti-abortion and gave money to Bush's campaign...

Yes, whereever we look we see the effects of putting down smart people...

And now Hillary is on the "Let-The-Dummies-Run-The-Country" bandwagon???

(But, Bobert, that sounds elitist...)

So??? Sue me an' while yer at it...

...beam me up, Scotty, there's no intellegent life forms left down here...

B;~)
