You know, sometimes even really smart people get it right.
I've always admired Ben Stein for his intellect, both on his television shows and whenever I saw him do an interview. But I really had no idea, untill recently, how human he really is.
I have to say that it's quite a change from the typical intellectual elite viewpoint. The one where they are the center of the universe, and the rest of the world is too stupid to understand it.
