Now, there's something we definitely agree on.
But it needs very careful handling. This is the same system Confucius
recommended. And what happened was the corruption of the test taking
process in favor of the kin of those giving out the test.

And given the control by corporate mass media, no way could we ever
get a majority to install some test of sanity and competence. But...
what you can do is look for those areas which already have higher
standards, then move and invest there.


Competent public schools and a "truth to power" tradition in the mass
media are essential to a healthy democracy. There are way too few
station owners. Way too few cable companies.

I don't advocate an actual test.
I dont blame you; tests have been fudged. However, there's nothing to
prevent you from finding other honorable talented people to work with
and find real solutions. Rather than telling others how to live, show
them with the way you and your associates live.

Something under the radar, that I notice reading Cosmopolitan and
Glamour magazines, is that thirty-something white career women, no
longer hot and sexy, are giving up on ever meeting Mr. Wright, and going
to fertility clinics. They wont get the perfect marriage, but with the
support of their families and friends, do get the perfect baby.

Who will no doubt not grow up stupid and uninformed. But look at it more
closely and see it is EUGENICS. Only under the control of women, not
men. This has been going on long enuf now that some of these kids are
already in grad school, having received full scholarship every step of
the way.

The first generation of Uberwench. Next question: in the name of equal
opportunity, are fertility clinic services going to be funded for poor
women of all races? If so, it'll dramatically reduce the number of the
stupid and uninformed, and thereby stabilize the democracy.
