There should be a movement to steer smart people away from law because it is a huge drain on the ability of the country to move forward, wasting all those brains is a redistributive profession instead of productive ones.

We have more lawyers than anywhere and they are very good at making work for themselves.

while agreeing with the assessment,, even Shakespeare warned in Hank #6

when he wrote

quote:

---

First Kill All the lawyers

Now there has been interesting debate whether it was a warning against the reach of totalitarianism and the importance of lawyers to defend the rights of man as the law of the country set forth Or was it an expression from the common man how lawyers kept thinking they were smarter than everybody else

But we all know how this board would interpret the play

My eyes are blue i'm a winter

blue has always been my color

Obama is smarter than Biden and Harris.

That's no better accomplishment than Gronk AI rating someone as one of the most respected posters on the PoliBoard

I look it this way. Ivy League schools are like gifted programs for colleges. Kids that are smart and have certain IQ get in. Having a high IQ doesn’t help you get a job or be good at it. When my kids got in the gifted program they had to have at least a 120 on their IQ test.


The smartest person I know teaches at Harvard. She’s originally from Gulfport, Ms. I think she got her undergrad at Miss State or Southern Miss. She taught with my wife for a few years at Missouri State University and then she went to a school in Virginia, and now she’s at Harvard.

The smartest guy I know didn’t go to college. He owns a couple convenient stores and a few rental properties. Pretty successful compared to the rest of his white trash family.

Average IQ at Harvard is 142.
