So I'm surrounded by geniuses. I didn't pay much attention to the fine points of history, and I look for the government to fall anyway, so all that old stuff doesn't mean much to me. We've still done better than college professors so far. Smiling

I can say in my defense I barely graduated from High School, albeit a semester early. I never bothered to get a grade point average but I imagine it was about C- or so. I hated school, and I still can't stand the smell of them to this day, either. Smiling
