I also don't believe educated and intelligent are one and the same.Do you mean book smart or naturally intelligent?
As a whole, society is much more book smart than 100 years ago, our literacy rate is the inverse of that in the early 1900's.
Natural intelligence? There are still quite a few very intelligent people out there. BUT, a proper environment (nurturing) is critical in all but the truly gifted.
I originally came in to critique your title and initial post, but I was beat to it by someone who's obviously more motivated than me!
i got a better question. whatever happened to respect? i almost got run over by a guy while i was coming out of a supermarket. i was in a crosswalk for christ sake and there are signs everywhere. state law. stop for pedestrians. mb he thought the sign said stop for pederasts. ok common mistake. but still.
