I would argue that there is little relationship between 'intelligence' and
'stupidity'.
Only a mathematical one.
If you are discussing what is measured by so called intelligence
tests, there seems to be a bell shaped curve, with as many below
average as above it. The correllation between IQ and the real world
does gets debated a lot.

America has dumbed down substantially the last few years.


One only needs to look at you for proof that most of liberal America
is lower on the IQ scale than brain dead.



Oh, sure, Tom. But...you're the one who bought the eTec.

In all honesty, either one, would be a better candidate than some I've
seen in recent years.



Ah, yes. The ultimate dream team.

Here's part of my platform:

I would embrace the liberal concept of redistribution of wealth and
resources to make things fairer across the board.

For example, I figure people with small boats and fuel efficient engines
don't use or need anywhere near the amount of fuel required for those with
big, fuel hogging boats in their respective, mutual enjoyment of boating.

Therefore, the people with small boats can afford to pay more for a gallon
of fuel because they need so much less of it.

A graduated fuel cost/gallon program will be instituted, with cost per
gallon decreasing as boat length and fuel burn rates increase.

Obviously, blow boaters will pay the highest for fuel.


See? I can make just about as much sense as some of our current
politicians in office.


Well, see - if you were a real politician you would have said that all
boaters are wasting gas and diesel and a special tax is needed to
compensate for the use of our precious resources.

And then insert language in the bill in small print to exclude
Mainship owners who have boats only at a certain marina on the Cape.

I'm in favor of fuel rationing for vehicles, even though it would very
difficult to set up a rational "fair" system. The way we are going now,
average people cannot afford to pay for the fuel it takes to get to
work, or to sustain their lives and the lives of their families.

I am saying that a person with an IQ of 140+ can be very stupid!

You know, the non-rich...the ones whose family income, according to John
McBluster, is less than $5 million a year.

Why would Herring be concerned about IQ? His is about the same as his
golf scores.
