I would love to see a summary of the good & evil deeds that the "best & 
brightest" have been responsible for over the years and contrast that with 
the deads of the "worst & dimmest", but it hasn't been done and I suspect it 
is impossible to do.

What justification do you have for your assertion?  I don't think Hitler or 
Pol Pot or Idi Amin would be classified as "best & brightest", do you?

Regards,

Wayne.
