Lines: 19 Beth Katz (beth@gymble) says: >Anyway, who ever said you can't be beautiful and intelligent at the >same time? "The Women of Mensa" might be a good feature. Good point! Either you are right, or this is strong support for the "nurture" side of the "nature vs. nurture" intelligence debate, or we should use the word "educated" in place of "intelligent". I will opt for the last of these. I think strong forces exist to make people who are "beautiful" not become well-educated. (Not that some people don't overcome it.) At some point, simply being well-educated becomes as important as being intelligent. Both of these are infinitely better than being "beautiful," by dint of the fact that being beautiful without the quotes often follows from these. -- Shyy-Anzr: J.
