      in reply to
      When a person says
      "people are stupid",
      they typically mean
      "people other than me and you are stupid"
      and usually follow it with the proposition of a conspiracy to abuse the stupid people.

      I don't understand why this flippant un-personing of majorities of the population is so agreeable.  To me it is more telling of the worldview of the speaker, than it is intelligence of the stupid people.
