Come on how many of the people that topped your classes in high school were actually intelligent, and not just incredibly hard working. Hell, at my university, most of the people doing better than me are dumb fucks but because they actually give a shit and want to apply themselves and don't just spend all their time drinking and going to shows, they achieve better results.
Intelligence is an abstract concept with very little application to anything productive you will ever do in your life.

This is hugely correct. Except for possibly the valedictorian, the top ten percent of my high-school senior class last year were either A) Dumbasses or B) Tool-bags or C) all of the above

Dude, it was just a shot at Sufjan and Counting Crows.
Having said that, I was in the top 5% of my classes at school, and that wasn't from hard work. Not that you'd know it off my forum demeanour, of course. :mrgreen:

You call it music.

guys the SAT is super-flawed and privileges rich white people who have rich white person tastes so no wonder they don't like lil wayne and would rather listen to counting crows or beethoven it's cause they have no idea what the real world is like and that extends to culture
