For some reason, I've been thinking about The Wizard of Oz lately, and I realized something. The story may have been written in 1900, and the movie made in 1939, but it still hits the mark on social commentary.
Dorothy keeps looking for the perfect guy that can take care of all her problems and she keeps running into entirely unsuitable men? Sure, that too. I was thinking more about the scarecrow. The man is brainless, and the wizard "cures" this by giving him a diploma.
Is this why we so many complete morons that think they have credibility just because they went to school? I propose that whenever we see people like this, we simply call them what they are. Scarecrow.
