Nerd Liberation Movement

Our Purpose: The Nerd Liberation Movement is dedicated to people who are
smart and are not afraid to admit it. In today's society, smart people are
persecuted. We learn to act stupid so that normal people are comfortable
around us. Some of us are tired of hiding the fact that we are intelligent
people. We want to be able to express our intellect without ridicule. We are
tired listening to stupid ideas that if you are smart, then you must be
deficient somewhere else. We are tired of being accused of bragging, when we
are only thinking.

We in the Nerd Liberation Movement are "Coming out of the Back Room". This
refers to the expression, "We have this Nerd, and we keep him locked up in the
back room." We believe that the world would be better off if smart people
were in charge. If you have something heavy to lift, you get the strong person
to lift it. If you have something that is high up on a shelf, you get the
tall person to reach for it. So therefore, if you need to make complex
decisions, then why not let the smart person do it?
