Intelligent people

Intelligent people frighten me. Not because they use words I don't understand (although that's true), but because they're dangerous. To paraphrase Thomas Sowell "Stupid people cause little damage. It takes an ivy league genius to cause a catastrophe". Case in point the financial collapse of 2007. The most intelligent, respected leaders in government and the buisness sector didn't see it coming. It's like they were standing on the deck of the titanic and when their pants got wet figured a toilet backed up. Science czar John holdren co-authored a book called Eco-science in the 70's and claimed an ice age was coming (was he talking about the movie?), also a 150 ft. tidal wave would hit the U.S. by 2000 (broke my surfboard on that one dude). He is also director of the Woods Hole research center (not to be confused with another kind of hole). Cass Sunstein the White House officer of information and regulatory affairs said animals should be able to bring suit (sue humans). Talk about a kangaroo court. I guess it's a good thing the Colonel is dead, otherwise KFC would be Kentucky Fried Chickpeas. Of course the animals would be represented by humans, they can't afford law school. Intelligent people, they said the titanic was unsinkable, they sank the economy, and make jury duty a day at the zoo.
