The attached is an average IQ for the nation, and is self explanatory.

Only an idiot would believe that the results were honest. Let me say it.

E Fraud.

Democracy, on the ropes, delt a KO with a loaded glove. Now it's up to the people.

Let's insult the working class people by calling them stupid. That'll make them want to listen to us.

How do some of you even become involved in the struggle? It's crap like this that helps holding us back.

...well, that cuts both ways. Let's not insult them, but let's not fool ourselves into thinking that reason will win them over.

The reality is that voting da shrub is against their self-interest. How do we get people to realize this without calling them stupid?

How is voting for either party any better than the other? How is Kerry any better than Bush? Those who voted for Bush or Kerry were voting against their own best interest.

I don't know how to get people to do things that are in their own self interests. You got any ideas?

..help them gain a better understanding of where their interest really lie...

..that can be driven by the hard work of organizing, or the hard realities of life.

Here ya go.

It's up to you. Others are just going to idly sit by and complain that no one's doing anything, so watch for them.

>..that can be driven by the hard work of organizing

If you can ever get Sheepy and KPC to drop the Cheetos, get out from behing the computer, and actually do more than bitch about how bad things are on-line.............

Nevermind. Just not gonna happen with these two.

Better find some others who want to at least make an effort. Not many of those either.

First of all, the IQ tests don't measure intelligence as much as analytical abilities that have some market value. IQ tests are ultimately tools used to find out who can be an accountant or an engineer.

There's also the issue of sampling error -- these numbers are probably wrong at best, and fraudulent at worst.

I say this as someone with an above average "IQ". I'm not that smart at most things... but I can write stuff here :-)

Granted. But from an organizing standpoint, there are an awful lot more people paying attention that were not paying attention before. It's a great time to get something...whatever may be appropriate...going on a local level, where interests and issues are less polarized, and where the effects of poor policy decisions are clearly visible.
