It's inevitable... We're told variety is the spice of life and then expected to be happy "eating at the same cafe" for the rest of our lives.

Come, you know you've been there. You've got your favorite Mexican place, your favorite sushi place, your favorite place for steak, fish, coffee, ice cream, chili-dogs and Chinese. You love each of them in its own way; they each strike a cord for you unique and magnificent in its own right. Which you chose to indulge in on any given evening is not a reflection of your feelings toward any of the others; that you’ve a craving for a California Roll doesn’t mean that you love a Tall Raspberry Fru-fru-latte any less!
Yet…
We’re supposed to choose just one of our passions to sate us for life. Can you imagine picking just one restaurant in which to dine for the rest of your life? No matter how much you love a good steak and potato –and I do love a good, or even a mediocre, steak- you’re going to tire of it after having nothing but steak three times a day, seven days a week. Sooner or later you’re going to want a big bowl of Rocky Road or a Super Triple Meat Burrito or a “big ol’ sack of fish and chips”.
But, if you’ve chosen to eat steak the rest of your life and you go out for fish, even once, you’re a bad person.
Nice metaphor. But now I'm hungry and horny.
That's a dangerous combination. You heard about the guy who had to go to the doctor because his penis turned orange, didn't you?!![]()

You know, I'd say "I'll bite," but that would sound so painful...![]()
Well, he was taking a piss one day and noticed that his penis had turned orange. So he calls his GP and sets up an appointment.
Anyway, come appointment day, he's sitting in the waiting room talking to the doctor, and the GP's asking him the normal questions, and after examining his genitals, he can't seem to figure out why the guy's penis is orange.
The doctor has the guy pull up his jeans and sit down, and suddenly, an idea pops into his head.
Doctor says "Has there been any recent changes in your life lately?"
The guy thinks for a second and says "Well, yeah, I just recently got laid off from work."
"And what are you doing with your time, now?"
"Just laying around, watching porn and eating Cheetos."

I like whole wheat.
I admit it... I snickered!
And not as in Snickers, the candy, as in some kind of porn snack substitute for Cheetos.

Christ. On the Huffington Post, no less!What does it say about the deep anti-intellectualism of the U.S. that anyone with a graduate degree is referred to as "overeducated"?

Perhaps the difference has less to do with education than it does with free thought, evaluating the evidence presented to you, and logical deduction. Though those are things that tend to come in useful in college classes - especially the higher level one's that require actual thought as opposed to the lower level liberal arts core curriculum that is more along the lines of memorizing the basis/basics that one needs for said upper level classes...
Are you suggesting that the reason why people use the term "overeducated" is because they disdain free thought?
Not really. I'm suggesting that for some people in the pursuit of power life would be much easier if the minions simply followed placidly behind the opinion they are served on a gilded platter. Which requires a certain level of surrendering free thought and free will.
“How fortunate for leaders that men do not think.”
~Hitler
Let's face it, Hitler may have been a mass-murdering ass hole, but he was genius when it came to the propaganda and group psychology of overtaking a country.
(I'm also not suggesting that only the educated are capable of free thought.)
Yes, what you say here is true. But is that really germane to the use of the word "overeducated?" Do politicians go around saying that the general population is overeducated? Or is it mostly people with less education using the word to deride those with more education?
