Well, simply having a degree or advanced degrees doesn't essentially make someone intelligent.

I think lots of people are delusional and out of touch with reality. People are saying the job market is fine when it is not. People are saying Iraq is going well when it is not. People are saying that it does not matter if 350 tons of weapons are unaccounted for or that we are more protected by a man who let the country's biggest single terrorist attack happen.

Individuals might be intelligent but their are ignorant of the world around them. I think you will find that most people cannot think outside of the box. They cannot put themselves in another person's shoes. Republicans will say "people on welfare are lazy and don't want to do any better" or "dumb whores should know how to put a condom on." Many of these things that people take as common knowledge are not. These people think just because they know something everyone else should. I've had a white person tell me, "I don't believe racism is still in our society because no one has discriminated against me." But this same person's friends would say racist things but since he never endured what minorities have, he didn't register it.

I think there is a difference between book smart intelligence and intelligence.
