Short and sweet… I was reading a Letter to the Editor in the Las Vegas Sun the other day and the person writing stated that people vote for, and feel most comfortable with, other people that are “slightly dumber” then they are – or at least on par with that particular person’s intellectual level.
He went on to state that smarter people scare those of lesser intelligence basically because if you can’t really grasp what a “smarter” person is saying then “they can’t be trusted.”
There’s actually more to the Letter, but that’s sort of it in a nutshell.
I was going to make a big hoopla out of this (because I sort of believe he’s right), but instead of soap boxing this one, I’m throwing this post to the wind to see what comes back 
So… what DO you think????
