America is at the bottom of the first-world educational barrel and Alaska is at the bottom of the American educational barrel.

I do believe that goes a long to towards explaining what kind of idiots we have behind the wheel in the US but especially up here in AK, the absolute bottom of the barrel in regards to intelligence.

What these statistics tell me is that most people up here should not even be behind the wheel of a motorized vehicle, except perhaps driving really fast on an ATV without a helmet on a two lane road going the wrong way, which I observe frequently from my front porch.

There are quite a few little crosses and flowers that populate the road near my house due to such behaviors and last week an idiot was laying down rubber late at night and spun out, hit a tree, went ass over teakettle and was declared dead on scene; I suspect a small cross and flowers will be added soon to commemorate his idiocy.
