I've been asking the same question for years...

Apparently intelligence isn't high on the priority list.
Most Americans don't like intelligent people because intelligent people are perceived as being know-it-alls, arrogant, pompous, condescending, etc. They want someone with whom they can just sit out on the back patio and have a beer. They want the Average Joe.


"America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own." -John Quincy Adams -
