Yes, they probably wouldn't come up with the same conclusions as you would because they don't have the life experience you do.

No, it's not a perfect solution BUT it is not all we have, as I have proferred.

No, you can't keep the dumb ones out BUT we could try... at least try.

No, we can't "single out" the dumb ones, but we can take rationable measures to TRY to mitigate the manipulation of the populace by inane goverment. Or, is that a false hope... is even the "over 50s" a wasteland of ignorance and apathy?
