Janice, I think you're on the wrong side of history with that one. You've heard the phrase: "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public"? Now that was some smart cookie who came up with that idea! If you look back over all recorded history, organized movements to persecute individuals with intelligence LOWER than the norm (idiots, as you call them) are the exception, not the rule. It's usually the people of higher intelligence who end up being persecuted. Sometimes, I must add, as a result of them being unable to keep their mouths shut. And, by the way, there is some recent work showing a positive correlation between drug use on the one hand, and income level and professional accomplishments. Individuals who do not use drugs are, by and large, less creative, less willing to accept risks, and have lower incomes than their drug-using peers. David
