I may be a psycholist but I am not a psychologist. I have however noticed
that it is the least intelligent of society who will overestimate their own
intelligence and underestimate the intelligence of others. This makes them
look more stupid than they think when they mouth-off.

I believe it was Denis Thatcher who said something like: if people think you
are stupid, you should keep quiet rather than open your mouth and prove them
right.

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove
all doubt."
Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of US (1809 - 1865)
