A Little Knowledge

It's a dangerous thing, eh? Even more dangerous is thinking you have knowledge when you really don't know anything. And you think it's your duty to impart that knowledge to others. Like the guy on the bus today who was talking to a friend about the economy. He was saying the same things that have been said over and over by the media. No big deal. Then he starts to put forth his comparison to the Great Depression, which was apparently started by FDR because he was involved in some kind of scandal, then four years later he resigned. And the next president ended it by signing some bills and creating jobs.

This moron will graduate from my university. Why should I think graduating is something worthwhile?

Some people have the power of passing on not so good opinions about things they dont know about. As long as they are talking with someone who doesnt know any better, they will look good. Its a sense of power that people get. Unfortunately to the more knowledgable people around them,they look like idiots.

Moral of the story...surround yourself with less intelligent people to make youself look smarter!
