Rayburn

One of the ways the country is divided is along the lines of formal education and I am in the Sam Rayburn school on this subject. When Kennedy was president he surrounded himself with Ivy league intellectuals and Lyndon Johnson was so impressed he went to his friend and mentor Sam Rayburn and said that this group of youngsters are so smart they can solve any problem. Sam replied, I just wish that one of them had run for country sheriff. While there is nothing intrinsically wrong with education, it sometimes replaces common sense and this is especially evident in politics. It is wise not to confuse education with intelligence. The first sign of trouble is when the educated begin to look with disdain upon the uneducated.
