@likaluca As I recall, census data show that something like about 66% of USA have only a high school diploma. Now recall what high school was like and that will give you an idea.
@likaluca I would've thought especially that university presidents would be smarter. BTW, we need university presidents who are willing to accept the consequences of ignoring Congressional subpoenas if the clear intent of those sessions is a McCarthy-inspired gotcha-session.
@likaluca The vast majority of people are BARELY high school graduates. The vast majority of people don't own a book, singular. My chunky little three year old was reading off a few of the easier book titles at the store the other day, meanwhile the cashier couldn't make the correct change
@likaluca You are just realizing that fact? “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.” 100 years ago, this ”quote” from newspaper columnist H L Mencken still rings true.
@likaluca I think your question says a lot about your optimism. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
