Neither is your arrogant elitist attitude enough to prove it. Being smart or dumb really has nothing to do with being educated. It is about your ability to reason and think critically. Many people excel in both of those areas without the benefit of higher education. And many people with a higher education struggle mightily in those areas. I know engineers who are highly educated people, book smart beyond belief. And I'm amazed that they can tie their own shoes each day. By the same token, when I worked in Fire and Security systems I knew some carpenters who could frame up a 6,000 sq. ft. office building, and every single wall would be true, and every single corner would be square. But these guys couldn't tell you the square root of four without using a pen and paper.
When I was in the Seattle area (Whidbey Island, 1995-1996), the average Mariners fan didn't know jack about Mariners history, past Ken Griffey, Jr. They were fair weather fans who came out of the woodwork because the Mariners were suddenly good. The same thing in Portland, a few years later, when the average Ducks fan seemed to think that College Football started with Akili Smith and Mike Bellotti. The local sports talk radio show had a poll on their website, asking people to name the greatest Duck player in history. Terry Baker won the poll with over 60% of the vote. What's wrong with that, you say? Terry Baker played for Oregon STATE, not Oregon.
