Website Idea

What if there was a forum site where all the best minds in the world met to discuss stuff? Wouldn't it be helpful for them, in their intellectual communities, as well as helpful to onlookers who could learn invaluable things simply by reading their discussions?

I am afraid we would learn just the opposite about them......

Once we read & saw how & what they respond to as well as the petty shit that would surface........

We would conclude they aint no better then the rest of us.......

Being smart in one area means nothing in another area........

I am afraid that "brain smarts" is only gonna get yea "well it sounded good @ the time"............

I am more than willing to give credit to the "smart ppl" for most of the good things we have in life.. But I am also gonna give them credit for most of the bad stuff to..............

They are the ones who agree with ME!!!!! Obviously.

They would have to think listening to baseball on the radio is superior to watching it on TV.

They would accept unequivocally that Weber grills with charcoal are superior by far compared to propane grills. And furthermore, recognize that propane grills do have a use and that use is strictly for hot dogs. That's it.

And they would know that Capt. Kirk would kick Jean PUKE Picard's ass!

Unless they choose to.........

I know some "smart folks" like you can't bring yourself around to doing it but when I am in the mood... In that great tradition of Sam Clemons & all my homies back in New Orleans...

IMO somethings are just better unsaid while others are better said how you feel them........... Go figure if I am in that New York state of mind or that stay'N up in New Orleans-got nothiN on my mind but this here...
