Normally I try and look to see at how set someone is to hold an absolute viewpoint on something unknowable, like weather or not things like 2012 will bring doom and gloom and death or not. Or how extreme and narrow minded they can be.
Actually, my Sudoku game determines that the intelligence of the whole planet is downhill or not. If not, there is hope that the world will be a better place, but then I'm the stupid one, and I truly believe that the the Moral Mob is at hand. They all set themselves up with the Sudoku indifference.
Woops. Sorry. I think some people who are clever say some dumnb things. I think that the inteligence of others is dwarfed by a stupid persons deabting skills.
