As you may or may not remember from messages I have posted in the very distant past on this list, I worry less about our being overwhelmed with stupid poor people and more about all the geniuses that are lost because simply because they are born into poverty and remain there.
THe ending of Antoine Saint-Exupery's _Wind Sand and Stars_ goes something like this (from faulty memory). He is describing a 3rd class carriage train trip in some third-world country:
It is not what we Westerners consider the squalor of their living conditions that is most striking -- people have lived in all sorts of conditions. The tragedy is a little bit of Mozart murdered in each of these people.
