Very true. I had a friend with a pretty high IQ in high school. Got a full-ride National Merit Semifinalist scholarship to Bowling Green State Univ in Ohio. Flunked out and wound up with warrants against him in three states for drug and traffic violations. Some brainiac, eh? Book smarts do not equal street smarts and common sense.

He would score low in a "emotional intelligence" test, if such test exists.

And look at Forrest Gump, he had an IQ of, what, 80? And in some ways he was a genius. Well sort of.

And take ME as an example... 155 on that webpage... and I'm an idiot.

I don't. As I said, I don't care anymore. It's like when a friend of yours keep doing something wrong, and you advise him not to do it, and he does it again, and you keep advising not to do it, and he keeps doing that stupid thing... and finally you just don't care anymore...

But it's not been long enough to see if any of Bush's questionable desicions turn out wrong or not. How can we know what the economy will be like next year or in 2008?

Give the guy a chance! It took Clintion and Bush I 12 years to undo what Reagan did right.

As much as I dislike Bush, there are two things he is attempting to get done right now that I support... partial privatization of retirement funds and the restructuring of how medical malpractice lawsuits are handled. I sincerely hope he does push these through.

High IQ people never take back what they say, but of course you wouldn't know.
