Hi Fox,quote:Originally posted by TheFox: To deny, yes. But to quote a construction worker and not give someone with intelligence a chance to rebut...
Are you saying there are no intelligent construction workers? Reading your comment make me think about a meeting I had with a computer client in the 1970s. He was an Aerospace Ph.D. and worked for Rockwell. He and I were sitting in the lobby of his building talking, when he said, "I should have gone into a different field. Aerospace is too dependent upon government contracts."
I asked him, "If you were going to get your doctorate in another field; what would you choose?"
He laughed and told me, "If I had it to do over -- I would forget the doctorate -- and go into plumbing or be a carpenter. They make a lot more money."
Now, Fox, if you ran into this man -- or someone like him working in construction -- would you say that you have more intelligence than him?
Be careful how you put folks into a box or categorize them -- because of their chosen field of work. I have met many auto mechanics, carpenters, and other folks who work in blue collar jobs who are much smarter than me. And, I would imagine more intelligent that you.
Just a thought.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
