Given some of the bonehead things I've seen said in this very forum by the "soi-disant" intelligentsia, I'll definitely say "Yay" to that! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

-Sazerac[/QUOTE]In order to become an intellectual, you must 1) have an advanced degree (whether you teach or not is irrelevant), 2) write for a newpaper/magazine, 3) work for a think tank, 4) somehow manage to get onto some else's talk show, 5) publish a book about something, or 6) have a following. Other than that, you don't really have to do anything.
Don't get me wrong--I, myself, am highly intelligent. However, I wouldn't make such idiotic comments as these people (and others) have done; I certainly wouldn't make them in public or in print. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/1dizzy.gif[/img]
