Most of them come across like a barely literate junior high school dropout and some of them are. They are also, and I say this almost w/o exception, some of the most intelligent and "wisest" people I've ever met. I make a Distinction here between "wise" and "smart".
Most of them would consider "smart" an insult of sorts becuz they've spent most of their life...Ignored
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can
