Intelligence

It looks like the standard education gap has been reversed. Not sure if it's meaningful or not, but thought I'd point it out.
On a related topic, here's a great line about IQs:
Liberals tend to believe two things about IQ:
-
First, that IQ is a meaningless, utterly discredited concept.

-
Second, that liberals are better than conservatives because they have much higher IQs.

I myself can't really speak to the specific validity of IQ tests, but this observation has amused me for some time. It can also be expanded to include a third thing, which is that a low IQ exempts someone from the death penalty.
