Actually I left out a whole LOT of the things that so many of the wonderful posters here do/have done, and how many have multiple college degree, many from Ivy League colleges; as if that even means anything anymore. ;^)
And college degrees mean less than NOTHING, if they were obtained in the past several decades. Those with an 8th grade education, knew far more, 100 years ago, than most recent graduates do now.

I definitely agree with that one. I started reading college textbooks at age 10. Didn’t graduate high school, too many credits in music, not enough in PE, failed Civics. Kept educating myself, still learn more than anything else, probably can keep up with any college grad these days, I used to have really interesting conversations with a college professor in the 80’s and could hold my own. My IQ was tested about age 7 or so, 151. Last time I checked out an online IQ test, about 10 years ago, 146. Most of these bozos today can’t even spell education...
I just never knew much about politics, never had much interest until I started seeing just how bad things had gotten and how dishonest the press was. I started checking into it...
