Chris, re: "[h]as anyone ever done a study of how what we call "intelligence" correlates with monetary success, happiness or even achievement? I think the results might be really surprising."

With regard to happiness, I doubt it. I'm thinking about the number of "faithful" who are ecstatic over our anti-terror campaign and how the war in Iraq is making us safer. I, on the other hand, am not too happy on either of those accounts.

Just one example. g. Ed
