America Round-Up

From Zandar Versus The Stupid, we are confronted w/:
Not as huge a decline as it appears, once one checks the numbers (523 to 497*) but more proof of how awful you peoplethings are becoming.

We've always believed that those who can't read (Or, our favorite excuse, "I don't like to read," i.e., "I am a cretin who is exhausted by the necessity of wrapping my lips around each & every syllable, which also interferes w/ my mouth-breathing, & I probably still won't get whatever point is involved.") are not fully human, mere tool-use no longer separating us from the other apes (or even crows) but as a hyper-literate if not literary type, what else could be expected from us? Fortunately the dyslexic & cretinous are not reading this, so we can mock them mercilessly. Hey, stupid! Eat shit!!

As the SATs are not administered to the common moronic clay, but mostly to high-schoolers w/ some expectation/pretension of attending an institution of higher learning, this is even more discouraging than at first glance. We won't post Nation of Sheep performing their eponymous tune again, but you get the picture. Baaaa!

*Forty yrs. ago in the Dark Ages when we took the SAT (W/o one second of Kaplan Test Prep, we proudly add.) we don't remember specific reading scores, & we have a vague impression that the scoring was different then. (Maybe not, it was literally 40 yrs. ago, two yrs. before this starts. Could be we so skewed the results in '71 that it was decided to adjust the scoring by '73.) Something like two parts (math & English) each worth 800, so 1600 was perfect. And yes, we did get in the 500s on the math part. You're still a moron, 'though!
