For awhile you were doing pretty good here. Now I see that you are
dumbing yourself down again.

80% is a B, isn't that good?
Thanks for making my point! Come on, you can dumb yourself down even
MORE, can't you?

OK, but 80% is better than 70%.

So 35% unemployment is better than 4.5%?



Always, 35 is better than 4. See how easy this is.


Where'd he go?

Anyway, your lesson on percents from wikipedia was a knee jerk reaction. It
didn't prove that 80% was better than 70%, it just said it was bigger.
Bigger is not necessarily better, even if Paris Hilton says so.

I have to be honest with you, I think your comment about my wikipedia
link is a knee jerk reaction.
