I'd like to see you post as well in a foreign language.

The Euro countries routinely whip our ass in Science, math and every other subject. I wish the US system was as good as other systems. Heck, I wish our students tested in the top 5 in math. As I recall we were after lovely Lithuania in the last world ranking in math (15th? if I recall...)

Yes, I too have noticed that, but I still have these surprising moments, although I once thought it got better both in the 1930s,40s,50s,60s,70s,80s and 90s.

However, I started to understand the major dilemmas of both the 1930s,1960s, health and condome education in 1970s, IQ-tests, regular DNA, voting acts and gerrymandering of 1971 and once again condomes in the 80s, plus the computer optimized gerrymandering and that Bush just said the c-word.

Seems one of the dilemmas is the ability to do regular simple proportional division using just 10 fingers and some toes (can on use the toes without turning out the lights??)

Btw, the ancient eqyptians were really good at dividing by even 21!!

Who knows, maybe that is why elect 20 candidates in any voting district, not just the funniest one.

<sterling example> of anglo-american feudal, colonial IQ-bean-and-skull-systems, or something more like postmodernism of the da-da-da 1900s??

Or just regular, not even medieval funny stuff??

Minor bean-and-skull test, changing the last 7 to an 8, or too much for murrican SAT test in basic math??
(ouch, that middle finger is a clear obstruction of higher math, another sterling excuse)

Do you agree with that contemporary ancient aptitude test??
(neither counting nor using fingers allowed, it is a true aptitude test, tweaked every 5th year to keep up the myth and ancient dilemma)

Btw, Lithuanialand too is having lots of relaxed fun these days, although they have a tough time considering their stormy history, occupied and walked over time and time again, something which always leaves deep scares on any single, emigrating or immigrating soul or foot (or little pavlovian brain)

They do not even have a one- nor a two-party system anymore, and NATO is not even what they once thought.

However, Botswana is slightly more difficult, on that 41th position, just sitting ontop of USA.
(Why does USA not recommend a two-party-system for Botswana??)

Interestingly, Ghana has a lot of good windows-experts, really smart viruses just some years ago.

Then there are those living in ancient, plastic rubber-xxx-land

but they too have some minimal human rights

Why did goofy say "I think" instead of "me thinks"??

Shakespear was lost then too??

If any US presidential candidate or too spokes "me thinks", is that gerrymandered??
(note, computeroptimized, 95% safe, be careful)

Those single-seat-district, funny two-party systems are just about as funny as disneyland, generations of pavlovian dogs are a true gerrymandering force.

However, the two-party-me and something them-there-thoser system has served the FEC well, for some funny centuries
