    The percentage of Americans– actually humans in general– who’re are just utterly irredeemably idiotic is above 17% in my estimation. So coming in less than that is a win in my book.

      i think 20% probably are irredeemably stupid, another 20% could have been lifted up by better education and parenting.

        I agree with you (20>17, as I suggested) but I honestly like that you put an optimistic spin on the rest.

      That 17% is just the people who whole-hog wanted to annex Canada. There’s an additional 16% that didn’t care enough to have an opinion on it.

      Is 1 in 3 more along the lines of what you were expecting?
