Hey, first off thanks for the compliment.

Secondly, I would NEVER equate someone's initials to a hate group {that wasn't my post}. I just disagreed with her opinion passionately and my big mouth is never afraid to voice up.

Finally, I often think that what people define as "cranky" is passion. Passion for a subject, a belief, for whatever you think is important.

Hell if cranky is what that is then I must be cranky about everything. ha!ha!

Finally, intelligence is not reflected in a piece of paper. That's nonsense. Intelligence is yes inate, yes its learned, yes its selft-taught, its so many many things and comes in so many forms. However, a piece of paper has never and never will make anyone SMART. Only an individual and how they choose to see life, grasp everything in it there is to learn, and (my personal belief) have the ability to say "I don't know, do you?" is what makes an invdividual intelligent. Wanting to learn, seeking that knowledge (in oh so so many different forums), and admitting when we just really need help.

That's the beauty of this board. We all don't know everything, but we ask each other and collectively widen that particular sphere of knowledge that before was lacking.

Isn't that life, whether you read a book or meet someone new?

Those who must prove their smarts by a piece of paper have some serious insecurity issues. I can personally recommend a good therapist. ha!ha!

Have a great week!!!
