[QUOTE="Bestoutwest, post: 1199575, member: 19397"] I see this a lot. I knew a guy who ran cattle and would talk about all those 'educated idiots' all the time. He used to tell this one riddle about three guys splitting a hotel room and paying for it. They were overcharged and got a refund. The way he would tell it, it would sound like there was a dollar missing and he would always ask "Where's the dollar?" One time I showed him on paper that the dollar was never missing, that it was actually very easy to figure out. That was the beginning of the end of our friendship I think because he was embarrassed. I'll admit it, I'm pretty educated. I'll also admit I can't spell to save my life. However, in my specific fields where I make money, I'm extremely knowledgable, and that's what matters. When it comes to cattle, I'm uneducated, not an idiot. Also, remember that those 'educated idiots' over at TCU, BU, KSU, etc. are some of the same idiots who help to develop new technology that we all use in some capacity almost every day whether it be on the farm, in our homes, of the phone in your pocket. Just because someone can't do the same things you can do doesn't make them an idiot, and vice versa. We all have different talents. That is all. [/QUOTE]
