Ever watch that show on Discovery Channel-- Dirty Jobs? There are
thousands of jobs filled by the less-brilliant prople that our normal every-day life could not function without. If all of a sudden, these people turned into Brilliant minds, these important occupations go out of business, and all of a sudden the balance is out of whack. It's like band... You think cutting out the low brass will help everybody (who wants them, anyways?!), but when they're gone, you miss them dearly.

For those who don't: The man had an IQ of 40-60, took this new therepy, and all of a sudden this guy was a genius! Unfortunately, his brain became smarter and smarter, until it smart-ed itself out, and the man turned back into what he was before, which, he realized, is where he would prefer to be in the first place.
