    Poll: Would you rather be lucky or smart?

    Not to sound arrogant, but I have tried the second option, and it has NOT worked out well for me so far. I have a very high IQ but fat lot of good it does me since my body has broken down and become profoundly disabled with a myriad of incurable, untreatable chronic and progressive illnesses...

    Du Pont heir dodged prison for raping 3-year-old daughter after judge ruled he 'would not fare well'

    There is nothing at all wrong with being rich. Being rich does not necessarily make you a bad person, and if we were really honest with ourselves, who among us would turn down the DuPont fortune if it were offered to us? This is a rhetorical question. It is not this man's financial status...
