Danger of High IQ

For John, BLUF:  It takes brains to screw up big time.

Someone sent along this comment, attributed to Thomas Sowell.

There is usually only a limited amount of damage that can be done by dull or stupid people.  For creating a truly monumental disaster, you need people with high IQs.

I suspect people have been saying this from before the time humans mated with Neanderthals.

As I was selecting a "Tag" for this post I accidentally hit "Congress".  I was tempted to leave it, but then thought that it was too direct and that, also, it might be an insult to all the other people in the two Houses.
