On the whole IQ vs Unemployment issue, I'd have to agree with you.
But I finally accept that I will never be helped by anyone.
I envy your passion.
Here is an anecdote: I walked into my socialism, anarchy and communism
class two years ago and told a person named Bob that I was beginning to
think that with a reapplication, some of the socialist ideas of Owen might
be doable, and would help the economy. He said, and I quote, "Fuck that!"
I asked him why, and he revealed to me that anyone who doesn't make at
least fifty thousand a year is worthless, according to him and his family.
I was even more shocked when several others in the class supported him.
Their rallying cry was "Fuck the poor." I make less than seven thousand a
year (This expensive college education is being paid for by a trust fund
my rich grandfather left just for the purpose. I grew up lower middle
class myself) I realized that these people would as soon shit on me as
talk to me.
What does that mean?
Maybe nothing. Maybe that people are inherently evil. Maybe that they need
to be educated.
I don't know anymore.
