Tell you what: Why don't you go to Iraq? Perhaps you can have a breakthrough there. Like actually having to request assistance from your "inferiors", and possibly finding them not as stupid as once believed.

Kindergarten teachers are Big People. They intimidate by size alone, if that is their objective. The comparison between a group of five-year-olds and a nation of adults is as odious as it is inaccurate.

Oh, and btw: in your dictionary definition (which dictionary was that from again?), the various synonyms used to define "intelligent" are separated by semi-colons. This means that they are all alternative definitions, not that they are all required to be present. "OR", not "AND".

As an example, I can introduce you to some very sensible illiterates. They're dyslexic, and possibly even smarter than you. Hard as that is to believe.
