No, not stupid but arrogant. They believe whats between their ears makes them something special. They then feel free to view themselves as rulers of the simple masses, any they view to be inferior. This is the way the world has always been. If its not education, its blood line etc etc. In the end arrogance is arrogance no matter how you arrive at it.
Oh, no, they’re stupid alright. I had a smart friend who decided to get her PhD in “American Studies.” She came out a complete dunce who tells me that the American Indian wrote (or greatly influenced) The Constitution. I KID YOU NOT.
