Kidding aside ...
Half the population IS below average ...
And you make a good point about ~60% being stark, raving mad.
A mathematical certainty ;)
I made a point to another Freeper last week about the 60% thing. And keep in mind the comparative population numbers.
A far lower number than 60% genuinely supported the NAZI Party. A far lower number of Russians genuinely supported the Soviet regime. Two of the most deadly regimes in the history of the planet. Now consider our population and the numbers of GENUINE supporters of Barack Obama and the Democrats.
Scared yet?
