For Gods' sake man where is your sense of humor? Smug decision makers have done some pretty stupid things because they would not listen to that little voice of the common man. Wars have been fought over stupid things. Forest fires due to "controlled burns" have been set off because a person with "superior understanding" ignored others who by his estimation knew less. Snobbish individuals with high-horsepower intellects that have the answers to the world's problems when they are young soon realize as they age that they exist in a very imperfect world. The best that can be done in many cases is to just make jokes about unchangeable situations. Chess is life, Tim Frohlick
