That's true, but if it wasn't for that "make a change" frame of mind, we would still be stuck in the middle ages.

It takes all kinds of people to make the world go around. If EVERYBODY had fantasies about being famous, or ending world hunger, and shit like that, nothing would get done, though. You need a balance of both. I like art. I like music. I like movies. I like teachers. I'm not downing any of that, I'm just saying that's what it is.As for the intelligence thing, true intellect is subtle and unstated. When someone "thinks" they're smart enough to teach children, watch out. When someone "thinks" they're smart enough to change the world, watch out. When you realize exactly how foolish and naieve, and pretentious you are, that's when you REALLY start to learn and aquire knowledge, that's my experience. Oh, and in case there's ANY doubt, it's absolutely ridiculous, and a sign of closed mindedness Overseer, to state that intelligence and liberalism are related. Are you honestly so full of shit that you believe that? The intelligence manifests itself differently, it's not at all, in any shape or form correlated with political leanings. I consider myself intelligent, vastly more intelligent than you, and when I was a college student, I was very liberal. I didn't believe in God; I didn't agree with hardly any conservative ideals, I voted for Bill Clinton. As I grew older, and learned more about the world, I became more conservative, it's just how I lean, it has nothing to do with intellect. An intelligent liberal might go on to be a famous writer, or a journalist, or a scientist. An intelligent conservative might be named Bill Gates. Pretentious, look it up.
