I did not say "white collar" workers, I said these certain doctors were not good umpires. There are many doctors who are fine officials. I believe that you were making a case that all things being equal, "white collar" umpires were better than "blue collar" umpires. Your obvious disdain for the "lowly" blue collar man (and the "BC mentality" as you put it) is evident in your words.

Not necessarily. I have worn both collars in my prior employment. Some very smart people (my I.Q. happens to be a meager 143) do not enjoy the corporate life. I prefer making custom golf clubs, for example. Plus, I have nearly completed my studies at a prestigious computer college here in San Diego and will graduate Magna Cum Laude in March with a degree in Computer Graphic Design. I plan to pursue a new career in this field.

The point is that there are some very intelligent plumbers and electricians out there to go along with the doctors and lawyers. Sweeping generalizations such as the one's you made in your opening salvo demonstrate that such assumptions aren't always the case.
