I'm not denying people found it insulting, but I do not think it is insulting in the least. So you have probably misunderstood me yet again. It was NOT meant to be, and I didn't even pay any attention to the writing because it had the numbers I wanted. Had I noticed the sentence, and been able to place myself in the shoes of the very sensitive, I would have cut the first sentence out. But even if it had been liberals who were more represented as a pecentage of the high school drop out population, in terms of their thinking, and they tended to get more conservative with education, I would have posted it- because I was interested in numbers, and not in which side would "win" by the numbers.

I'm sorry you ascribe such malice to my actions. There was none intended, and I find your belief in your own certainty as to my motives odd, but as long as you are enjoying yourself, carry on.

Gee, you know, one of the main complaints of the left on this site is how outnumbered they are. Two or three to one at least, they claim. And yet... I have the DISTINCT impression that most of the site members are HS grads and college grads are not at all uncommon.

So X should take comfort that she is not being forced to associate with people beneath her exalted station.
