There are plenty of smart, knowledgeable people, some of whom are highly&nbsp; educated. But one of the reasons the U.S. is in the state it is in is the populist anti-intellectualism that is encapsulated in that term &quot;intelligentsia&quot; - which has become a pejorative dismissal of people with hard-won knowledge and expertise. Too much salt can, indeed, ruin the soup.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
