[quote=Anonymous]While I agree with some of what you are saying, I think there might have been some miscommunication between us as to what the difference is between well educated and over educated. The people I know who I consider well educated have focused on that which is enlightening and interesting to them. They are very happy to talk about what they love and have mostly impeccable manners as well as ethics. The over educated are a little bit more bourgeois. Education is a means to an end for them. A way to make money, lord "respectability" over others, and a desperate attempt to keep up with the Joneses. They are too stressed out to have considerations for others, they are the ones on their cell phones crossing busy intersections without ever looking up. They can negotiate a plea bargain but can't tie their own shoes or raise their own children by themselves. However, by saying your dog or cat has better manners sort of makes you one of them in terms of self-assumed superiority. People here may be sheltered physically, but emotionally they are homeless. I feel better when I step back and realize that everyone's reality is very real to THEM. And really, manners on the beltway? Sure, if you don't care if you get home until next week.  :lol: Peace out, dude. [/quote]
