[extropy-chat] Enlightenment and the election

[Mike Lorrey]

While the liberal intelligentsia and media have been pompously trying
to portray blue states as better educated and red states as more
ignorantly benighted, even going so far as promoting a hoaxed up list
of states by average IQ vs how they voted which alleges to show smart
states as for Kerry and dumb states as for Bush, here is some real data
which cannot be disputed: SAT Scores by State vs election results:

It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves."
