Oh, and btw Chad...in answer to your supposition about America not being an anti-intellectual society...

Maybe you don't realize this, BUT it doesn't take being an "intellectual" to become RICH!!! And brother, THAT'S exactly what has made this country so powerful. Our love for the "Almighty Dollar" above all else.

(...though, there certainly is NOTHING wrong about that...personally I LOVE the "Almighty Dollar" MYSELF!!!!)




There again you misunderstand me. We have very much become anti intellectual. I only propose that we were not always so it takes intellect to invent, create, design, and build a giant nation such as ours.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe
