Why does everyone seem to think intelligence is particularly
important? The 'smartest' government in UK history was that
of Harold Wilson in the 60's, with 6 Oxbridge stared 1st's in
the cabinet. They proceeded to bugger up everything they
touched (and being socialists, they wanted to touch everything).

Smart people tend to believe they know it all. Give me
superior judgment with a touch of humility any day.


Smart people abhor socialism.


Yeah, but people who merely THINK they are smart are its biggest fans.

Oh I don't know about that. Smart people see in
socialism the justifications whereby they can lead the
poor 'proles' who would otherwise (in their opinion) be
clueless.

Come to think of it, the only pilots I know of that talk about

So how many hours does Dubya have as PIC?
That's what we're talking about.

so, which are you, a student pilot or a newly minted private
pilot?

Are you sure? How can you know what readers are interested in?


I can't. But I can tell what writers are interested in by what they write.


That's a good skill to have when using usenet, now if you practiced
what you preached maybe you would have a something salient to add to
the discussion. Or are you more interested in name calling?
Which as everyone knows is just the last resort of someone with no
argument or point to make.

Bush's trail is littered with the political corpses of opponents who were
sure they were smarter than him.



"Smart" is mustering available resources effectively - gett'n the job done,
plays well with others, etc. Intellect is one of those resources.

Then there's the whole EQ vs IQ thing...

Again, this isn't about "smart" (political or otherwise). It's about the
clubs in Bush's bag.

His short iron game might be brilliant. He might be able to out-putt
everyone. His shot selection might be tops. All in all, a pretty good
player - many tourneys won, most opponents defeated.

All of that said, I don't think the guy has much distance on his drives
....IYKWIM. My perception of the guy is: 175 yds is about all you'll get off
the tee from GW. It's not one of his weapons.

With Clinton, I believe the most effective wood in his bag was .....the
scoring pencil - but yes, with his intellect he could *drive for show* with
the best of them.

What did Bush do to cause you to conclude he is one of our least
intelligent
Presidents? What did Clinton do to cause you to conclude he is one of our
most intelligent Presidents?


I'm basing, maybe, 75% of my (most/lease intelligent) observations on verbal
cues. I don't think Bush is a quick thinker. I don't see him as clever. I
see the guy struggle with word choices, comprehension (and also with his
delivery) at press conferences and in interviews.

Keeping with interviews ...I don't get the feeling I'm seeing a deep thinker
in Bush. Instead, it often appears he's doing more reacting and blocking
than thinking and communicating.

Clinton seemed to be more of a multi-leveled thinker in those situations.

Doesn't matter how far you can hit the ball if you knock it in the wrong
direction

Does the constitutional right to bear arms extend to fitting up your
Warrior
or other suitable flying platform with heat seeking missiles cannon etc
so
that you can defend yourself from aggressors?

Yes. What part of "Shall not be infringed." do you not understand?


and does your right to protect
yourself override the FARs in that you can modify your plane accordingly.


Let's see, does a regulatory agency override the Constitution?

They may be able to require that the modifications are performed to
certain
standards if you wish to overfly populated areas, but the second amendment
is
pretty clear.

Lighten up I was only taking the ****- you guys are really spooky.
