“Witness people bemoaning the fact that half the population is below average!”

Worse still, nowadays kids are taught that everyone of them is above average in order to boost their so-called “self esteem”! I pity the poor dupes when they hit the real world. Some of those “above average” performers can’t even make correct change down at the McDonalds burger place.
