I'm not a political fanatic and hardly even interested in politics at all, but the following struck me as a bit too interesting to pass up. A co-worker mentioned an article today about States Ranked: Smartest to Dumbest. What I noticed is what states were listed first in the top 10 (in order): Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, Wisconsin, New York, Minnesota, Iowa, Pennsylvania and Montana. Of the top 10 smartest states, the top 7 voted Democratic! The 8th narrowly won for the Republicans with the 9th state again being democratic and the 10th being Republican. Maybe, like sport playoffs, only the top 10 states should make it to the final voting. It would at least provide some incentive for states to improve and move up to the top 10. |
I think people who live in Red States should just be jealous of us who inhabit the smartest states. It is a matter of politics. The smartest of the states are controlled by Democrats and independent minded people. Red States, we know are controlled by religious fanatics. Besides did it ever occur to you that half of the nation's 290 million citizens live in the predominately blue states, considering there are far less of them. I should know, I'm from the smartest state.

With so much bad 'outside' weather, I'm not surprised the kids are doing more school work. It's a thought. California (the bluish-purple state), with all its money, prestigue, fun in the sun and activities, is 43rd. The kids are too busy having fun outside to study...even though they all have laptops!
