Hello BOB!

09 Oct 06 13:47, you wrote to me:

Having a better education is no mark of intelligence.. You should know this,
its common sense and common sense cant be taught.

Smart people are quite capable of doing stupid things.

First example comes to mind is Clinton, he is smart, yet he did the Lewinsky
thing. Unless you find his actions with Lewinsky in the executive work space of
the Whitehouse a smart well educated thing to do?

I am sure there is quite a few phD's out there with DUI or other such stains on
their record. Smart people can do stupid things, like vote blue.

 RC>> Lots of stupid people vote for or are blue themselves..

 BK>  The trend is overall to more educated, more blue.

Yes, academia does install a sense of piety in its output.

But this study in of itself was stupid, I saw the same blurbs following the 04
election and why it is stupid is it blatently lumps in those blues that live in
the red states as being dumb, stupid trailer trash hillbillies..

There are several well known and highly reputable universities in both
Carolinas, I am sure there are blues in and around them, but they are in red
states, guess they are trailer trash because of being in a red state?

 RC>> But it doesnt change the fact that in many blue states, the

 BK>  Doesn't change the fact that in many red states the reds provide

I am sure the crime rate in New York, Chicago or Los Angeles, each of those
cities alone have a crime rate that would put ours to shame. Those cities are
quite blue.

 RC>> better educated blues with their 6 digit incomes arent
 RC>> phased by higher taxes on everything, but since you go
 RC>> around whining on how downtrodden other people are, perhaps
 RC>> these better educated blue people could put 1 and 1
 RC>> together and figure out that taxing the phuck out of
 RC>> everything isnt helping the downtrodden they supposedly

 BK>  And not taxing means the govt *CAN'T* help anyone who needs
 BK>  help.

and who would that be?

 BK>  No taxing means the govt *CAN'T* do the job it's supposed
 BK>  to do.

Which is?

C'mon, list all the services sans police and fire..

 RC>> swore to protect?

 BK>  When did the voters swear to protect anyone?

Its not rocket science Bob, the blues tend to foster and cultivate entitlement
programs to keep a voting bloc captive to them, whom btw arent highly educated.

A hand out is not a hand up.

But we were talking taxes, well Bob, the more taxes I have removed from my pay
before I even get it, means the less money I can spend as a consumer. But I
guess thats what y'all want!

Lemme ask you something, if you arent being taxed enough, are you authorizing
your employer to withhold additional funds from your checks, even though you
might get it back in April, they would still have that much more money to use
throughout the rest of the year?
