If everyone was smart, the smart would loose their advantage. The same goes for knowledge. If there was a really easy way og absorbing knowledge, where would the power and fun of knowledge be?
Besides, I don't generally buy the notion that education for everyone would lead to world peace. I know about lots of extremely smart and knowledgable people that are just as (if not even more so) greedy, corrupt and violent
To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society. -Theodore Roosevelt
A good education really needs to be earned, that way you (are more likely to?) get decent character traits like patience, dedication and sound morals instead of just facts. =Smidge=
I believe Lawyers provide a direct and potent counterexample to your thesis.
While I believe morals must also be taught, at least having a more intelligent society would be a good start. At the very least it would cut alot of demogogues off at the knees.
who the fuck gives a shit about spelling and grammer? oh yeah the person of average to high average inteligence that needs to feel smart becasue everyone knows memorising words is such a wonderful way to learn and to spend your time thinking.
stupid people know how to spell becasue stupid people do not get board memorising words!!!
people of high inteligence tend to get board with memorisation so they don't spend their time on it.

You missed an apostrophe from "that's". Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha. I am laughing at you, "The Only Druid". I am laughing at your pathetic attempt to look clever. You must feel pretty small right now. Ha ha ha ha ha.
I have been sued a total of 7 times. Everytime it has been baseless and little more than a shakedown. In one case the lawyer bringing the suite was indicted for criminal practices and sent to prison.
While the lawyers I hired to defend myself were pleasant people, and some were old family friends, I have no doubt that the merits of the case made no concern to them and they would have happily been on either side as long as there was a paycheck.

As Plansedragon mentioned, most lawyers are generally good people on a personal level. Their cients are generally more of a problem.
I'd also like to point out two things you seemed to have overlooked that nullifies your statement:
First, I mentioned that earning your education would make you more patient and dedicated. Most lawyers (even the truly sleezy ones) certaintly fit this desription - so my statement holds true.
Second, the words "are more likely to" make it clear that it is not a blanket statement
True. This is also why I'm actually I'm opposed to people choosing only the "relevant" courses in their education. These people tend to see any other courses as a waste of time. I see it as a way to mature on other levels and increasing your general level of education.
To everyone on this kind of "fast track" I just like to say: Calm down. Stress, and monotomy will reach you soon enough. Use your time at college and university to explore other types of knowledge as well, and it will most likely make you a be

the moral ones are mostly prosecuters (though there are scoundrles there)
so the defence and civil lawyers all cheated there way off the prosecuters.

I don't know about you, but every lawyer I've ever met has been compassionate, ethical, and an all-around nice guy.
They just get (very) bad press because they have to do what their clients want, and their clients are often rich, and, ergo, often scumbags.
