Speaking of working hard, I'm not, I'm sick at home, going on at this. And also speaking of working hard, how does blind merit testing help the poor? Because they are typically smarter? As Kim C pointed out way back, not being so exceptional doesn't make you a bad person. Or make you take responsibilities for other people's lives lightly, if you are flying a plane. I picture all you merit people with ears like Mr. Spock, wondering what the deal is with these irrational human considerations. Being given a chance is huge. May seem like it's doing nothing good. To you. Black newspapers say different--"Bush Is Wrong" on the one I bought today.

Kim C it's not "naive". There's a term for having a feeling about things and thinking that everyone must feel the same, from the same point of view. But it's not "naive". I had a little psychology a long time ago, and can't think of it. It's associated with autism, sometimes, and psychopathic personalities. Nicole C may know it. Might want to have that looked at.
