The two
quickly produced a big "hump" on the low side of the IQ bell curve with the
effect that the whole US population has been "dumbing down" for almost 50
years. The results are plain to see - the resurgence of fundamental
religion, the triumphs of faith over reason and logic, the election and
reelection of politicians like Bush, and the popularity of racing things
like lawn mowers, stock cars and sail boats


Nah, racing sailboats was a lot more popular back in the old
days... not as much going on. I'm serious. News reports of
the day indicate that sailboat races used to draw big crowds
along the shore and in spectator boats... I guess a
comparison to modern times would be if there was a "Grass
Growing" cable channel...

One major problem with your analysis, Vito. The folks in that hump on the
low side of the IQ curve vote overwhelmingly Democrat.

You mean like the ones who were persuaded to vote for
President Bush because of his church-distributed pamphlets
explaining that Kerry was going to outlaw the Bible and make
teaching homosexuality mandatory in public schools?
