Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The problem here is that sometimes intelligent people are put into situations that tend to color their beliefs in areas such as politics, religon, even bigotry. I'm highly educated and often feel guilty for expressing a non-pc view that my intellect tells me is wrong, but the evidence before my eyes suggets is right. It's just another ethical deliema we face as the world becomes a smaller and smaller place. I think all of us are equal, seperate with different skills, but essentially equal. As long as you can realize that, the stupidity of others can be overlooked... everyone has their moments, me, you, everyone. It's called being human. Some are smarter, some are stronger, some are saintlier, but if we were all the same, if we all were truly equal, the world would be a pretty damn boring place! We are all different, no better, no worse than our fellow man (with some noteable exceptions.) I'm a cynic, but an optimistic one. I have a friend who is naive, but a pessimist... the differences that seperate us will also pull us together at times, so the point is moot. There will always be conflict, when there's no drama, humans will create it for their own amusement. That's what makes us human machines so damn interesting!
