A.A. Society is stupid. If you think people value professions which
allegedly take more intelligence (in which case you've missed my point
entirely), I would ask why it, society, bows down to the likes of Brittany
Spears, Cher, and other bonobos. If you think doctors and lawyers are so
exempt from idolizing morons, how many doctors/lawyers do you think would
mind if Brittany or Cher moved in next door to them, wouldn't think this
was some sort of symbol of their own success. Sheep have an inherent need
for aristocracy. If they don't have one built into the system, they create
one.
