You should reign in you’re elittist trendencys. You’re remarks is verry insluting, and patternizing and your probalby thinking your better then everyone else.
Many a truth is spoken in jest.

I recently went to the 50th anniversary reunion of my HS class. Obviously, a bunch of old guys and gals like me; very few of them recognizable. But what struck me was the realization that the school had - I suppose, any school would have - categorized us quite unfairly back in the day.

I myself had a pretty high class standing, and I had to laugh at myself for having any hangover from that unfair categorization - which I of course was far too polite to express openly, fortunately. Because at a 50th reunion, class standing means zilch. It would be interesting to stand up at a H.S. graduation and express that thought . . .

And that brings up the point that some author has made - Charles Murray I think - that modern schooling artificially induces people to selectively mate by IQ.
