    And there’s always the George Carlin perspective:


    Think of how stupid the average person you meet is.

    Now, realize that half the population is dumber than that.


    To give some uh, anchoring to this…

    The average American adult… a d u l t …

    Is currently as literate as a 5th to 6th grader.

    In conclusion; Yes, it is objectively correct to state and believe that most people are idiots, at least if we’re talking about the US.

    … and Arkansas… is pretty damned close to winning the idiot contest.

    “Powerful stupid”, you might say.
