Seeing you have no idea you are one of them. 
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould

I had an excuse. I was in the lab 40 years.

Re: There are a whole bunch of really stupid people in America
I've tended to suffer more for my other flaws than for my stupidity.
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

Re: There are a whole bunch of really stupid people in America
Certainly, but of course the real question is whether there is a higher proportion of really stupid people in the US than elsewhere, and if so, why...

What is commonly known as stupidity is more a function of lack of education than intelligence. Also, people are usually referred to as stupid when all they are doing is to disagree with the referrer's opinion.
