And on the other hand, some of the biggest morons Ive ever known had degrees. Intelligence always seems to be measured by pieces of paper. The level of formal education is always lower based on economic status. Unfortunately (especially in America), economic status and race go hand in hand.

This! Sure, I also know a lotta intelligent people with common sense AND degrees but those who really think outside the box often don't fit in the system.

This topic is a fail.
