*everyone ahead of Americans in learning curve

A harsh generality since it is not universally true, but the majority of Americans are below average in all things learning, IQ, wisdom, intelligence, etc. due to the system.

Even if IQ tests average 100, that 100 more than likely was raised over time from a lower score or the tests were doctored to be easier. If in 1990, people were averaging an IQ of 95, then in 2000, that 95 just became the new 100 or tests were altered to reflect the new 100.

I realize this is O/T, but it's an observation worth mentioning.

These people focusing on Obama have little idea that Congress is the real policy maker with all its glorious lobbyists.

Do I dare say that it doesn't matter if American or not, anyone in a dumbed-down area will experience the new normal of idiocy comparatively?

Imagine a world where every other country is dumbed-down worse than America, would that make America smarter?
