There's all this pro-voting pro-democracy rhetoric before the elections. Even hostility towards non-voters. Well people voted. Now they don't like the president elect, and they're protesting... what?
I think our voting methods are terrible, but this isn't being addressed. And if it were, that's what you should be protesting, not the result of an election you were happy to participate in.
It reminds me of getting mad and throwing the monopoly board on the floor when we were kids.
I don't recall that it tested you on trivia. But it tested you on skills. For instance there was a timed math test with problems of increasing difficulty. So if you spent more time learning math, and learned more advanced skills you would score higher.
Have you ever taken an IQ test? Best I can tell, they basically measure your interest and commitment to school subjects. Retardation is one possible reason for a low IQ score, but that's not what's going on here.

Wow.
The protest in NYC is pretty big.
They lost me here.
