you boys like mexico?
I've had this urge for some time now to watch "super troopers," with all it's infamous one liners. (infamous meaning more than famous :) anyone who can name the movie that came from gets a cookie) Yes, it is one of those instant classics. You must see it.
Whilst reading my psychology text book today, I got an epiphany. No one is really 'smarter' than anyone else, on a general basis. Let me explain:
Two hypothetical students named Jimmy and Philip are both 'A' students, except one is an Art Major, and the other is a Philosophy Major. Jimmy is the artist, and thinks Philip is stupid because he's never heard of Francisco De Goya. Philip, onthe other hand, thinks Jimmy is stupid because he's never read Analects of Confucius. But which one is right? Neither, I say! We are all more adept in certain areas than others, and so to say that one is not smart for they cannot do what you do is just your biased opinion.
This didn't really have anything to do with reading the text book, atleast I think it didn't, but it struck me as profound, depending on what your view of equality is. So I guess I'm saying here that we're all equal. Broadly equal, but equal.
Okay, I'm away from the podium now. I think I've made my point ;) Although I would rather have you watch Super Troopers than to ponder my 'epiphany'.
