That is awfully big of you, however, keep it mind that amateur radio (the
rf bands) should be open to ALL AMERICANS...

Every American (and foreigners living in America) have the very same
opportunity for obtaining an amateur radio license.

I happen to have been favored by my creator. If I understand where I
stand on IQ charts, roughly 5% of people are my equal or betters...

You're not supposed to stand on them. It is quite possible that folks
with a lower IQ could still be your equal or betters.

If I
took a test which fully tested my abilities, then required the same of
others--I could end up rather lonely...

I'm guessing that you're already rather lonely.

I think the test should be one which at least 95% of ALL amercians can
pass--more or less like a drivers license...

Just use your CB radio or find a newsgroup to haunt. That'll end your
loneliness.
