    That’s amazing. What is our literacy rate? I don’t feel like I’m smart, I’d save average at best…but I truly do feel like the majority of the general public that I am around is less intelligent than I am…and that’s really not saying much. Purely anecdotal but I’d say 65% of Americans are fucking idiots.
