The U.S. had a self-described "very stable genius" as president for 4 years, if that says anything. There is intelligence, and then there is wisdom. I like your comment about strength of character, which is so lacking in so many "inteilligent" people. I have no idea what my IQ is. I am good at some things, average at others, and totally suck at still other things. I just tell people that I'm not as dumb as I look. ;)
