I didn't mean to come across as feeling sorry for myself, but in retrospect I guess I did sound whiney. Gads, that IS annoying. I guess I was pondering why some people are so freaking smart and others-the majority?-are not and why is that? Why are some people so blazingly brilliant? Genetics? That can't be it because a lot of these smarties come from very humble stock. Education? No, that's not it either. Have they been 'touched by an angel'? (and don't say 'well, if they HAVE been touched by an angel they need to lawyer up') That's what I'm wondering. Sorry for the pity-party mentality. I really don't come across that way IRL.
