This is an interesting observation. I tend to agree (and don't know why),
but wonder if anyone on this list is familiar with studies which may support
this phenomenon, if indeed it is true. Had you said, Arona, that "higher
income seems to correlate with respect for others," now THAT would have been
a different story. Hee hee hee.

And being less bright does not mean that bright people do not matter ... or
matter. This subject has countless possibilities. Starting with, "what is
bright?"
