Aw c'mon.....

Don't make Mary Anne have to put my presumptious assumptions in their place...she can be downright nasty. I've been told to go straight to h--- and not collect $200 before...for posting anything that resembles any broad group-intelligence-quotient statistics.

So I'll just sit alone out here on this ledge...retracting it all and recanting when the PC police come to tell me that everyone and everything are all perfectly equal...

Nevermind that our entire justice system is based on the fact that not all things are equal - that some things are right and wrong - or that our mental institutions are filled with people whose intelligence have been declared sub-par and they are confined for the betterment of society. Or the fact that our State Department does not deal with governments formed by people who seem to have less in common with our value system. Or that we as a nation physically put an end to numerous regimes that we interpreted as counter-productive to society and peaceful co-relations. Or that consumer reports makes a living out of judging products and determining which are superior an inferior. Clearly all products are equal!

Nevermind that the literacy rates of various nations are vastly disparate, nevermind anything you read in a world almanac - these statistics are illusions and irrelevant.

Nevermind all these things. They mean nothing. They are all wrong and surely the ACLU has problems with all of them.

There are some things which are tabu and anything dealing with statistics and intelligence is an anathema to PC-think.

The NY Times was just the victim of a careless oversight by a cerebrally-unique writer, himself the victim of society and the corporate infrastructure which employs him. They will post a full retraction soon surely.

Just pulling another Twain's Tsar's Soliloquy I guess,
