Wellllllllllllllll!
I was soon to discover that I wasn’t. Even though I could answer most of the questions, a 4th grade geometry question got me. I think all our elected officials should have to go on this show. If they can’t answer questions like “true or false, North America is in the eastern hemisphere?” they should not be able to hold public office. North America is in the western and northern hemispheres. The contestant had to cheat off the 5th graders to answer this. Geometry questions may not be relevant holding public office but geography is. I say instead calling for G.W.’s impeachment we should insist that he appears on this game show. That would be good entertainment and maybe he would surprise us or embarrass himsel f to the point he has to resign. Appearing on this show would also give us more insight of our “would be” presidential candidates then any debate or speech. If we’re not smarter then 5th graders we need our congress, senate and president to be. That’s why they need to appear on this game show. I consider myself to intelligent and have had people (the CEO of a consulting company I worked for) ask me if I was 1 of those mensa people. Well I’ll be the first to admit I’m not, not even close, my brothers’ maybe. No wonder his company fell apart. I’m not even smarter then a 5th grade and he thought I was genus. I say this because my skills aren’t in what I know; they’re in knowing where to find the answers and looking for more then 1 answer. Once I gather information then I can make an educated decision. It’s important to look at all the sides of an issue. If you disagree with me just remember I’m not even smarter then a 5th grader.
