Dave, I admire your intelligence. What is intelligence?

The capacity to acquire and apply knowledge.

How do we measure the capacity to acquire knowledge in another.

At the end of the day we look to see what a person does. What a person does is make decision and act and his action are the only real measure of how that person applies knowledge.

So in the case of mr. bill I consider the man an apparently high IQ stupidest that ever was. I find nothing to admire in that in all cases mr bill's decisions of self or others sacrifice showed his choice was others. When mr. bill had the choice of honesty and courage or cowardly dishonesty the choice was dishonesty. In the words of poster E.T. honor meant dick to mr. bill. I don't consider that intelligent at all. I believe many good people supported mr. bill. All were betrayed by this man.

What does the life of mr. bill represent to me in terms of what I value and respect. mr. bill's actions and conduct is deeply repugnant, It contradicts so utterly our
principles and moral sentiments that we feel bound to lift up our voice against it. What we abominate does equal violence to our moral and religious sentiments. What we loathe is offensive to our own nature, and excites unmingled disgust. I donot wish evil to befall mr. bill. But the above is a description found in the definition of that which we hate.
