GUI's, giving big weapons to little guys? (Score 1)

Ok, I'll make this short and simple. GUI's give stupid people power that they have not earnt and have no knowledge of. I can't recall the amount of times I've been in #linux and had some newbie ask me a stupid question and when I tell him to enter a command into the console, they reply with "Whats a console?". Yes, there is many, many people using Linux who not only have never used the console, they don't even know that it ever existed! These people are using an extremely complicated and powerfull operating system, yet they probably don't even know how to use DOS. To me, this is the same as giving someone a big, red button that can unleash all of the USA's nuclear arsenal on the world with a single button push. People continue to push Linux as the next desktop OS, yet this may not be so wise. Maybe a new kernel should be produced primarily for desktop users, something that your slightly moronic user could use, without being given too much control over the system they know very little about...
