Wisdom cannot be memorized...and knowledge without wisdom isn't intelligence... but stupidity disguised as intelligence. Face it, very ignorant people can accumulate enough knowledge to rule countries and start religions.... and even (God forbid) acquire followers. Knowledge without understanding (i.e. the clarity and wherewithal to know how to use acquired knowledge intelligently) is not only worthless but can be dangerous as well. There is nothing 'noble' about good spelling and a large vocubulary, no matter how much we like pumping ourselves up for being 'smart.' What the world needs is more wisdom and maybe even a tad less 'smarts.' Thoughts? :-)
