I once knew I guy who actually defended and respected Hitler because he was really smart. I tried my very hardest to refrain from completely stating his beliefs as totally wrong. True, Hitler was intellectually brilliant, but is that really what you judge a person on? He killed billions! The only reason that one guy respects and defends him, is because he feels insecure on his own talents, and thinks that his only strong point is his intellect. Being intellectual does NOT define who you are.

Well now I'm depressed. I'll have a pint of cookie dough ice cream, please...
