Were we always this stupid, or did someone slip something in the water supply?

If by "water supply" you mean "bottled water that costs $3 per liter", then, yes. Does anyone but me even *drink* municipal water any more?

This reminded me of a funny story I read on the Motley Fool humor board. I tried to post it in a comment here but it was too long. I posted it over here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/jokes/577421.html?#cutid1) instead.

No, it's just that the lower three-quartiles of Americans are such [redacted] monkey[redacted] that they've never heard of a $2.00 bill. This is what we get for not getting rid of the $1.00 bill when we had a chance.

I have a friend who used to get nothing but Susan B's and $2.00 bills and use them everywhere. Wonder what they would have done with a stack of Kennedy halves.

"We" is too broad a word. But I wouldn't blame the water supply.

(I've never had anyone refuse to accept my $1 coins, but they do get the hairy eyeball sometimes...)

yes.

Think about your average person, and about how bright he/she is.

Now, remember that about half the population is dumber than that.

I often wonder how our species has managed to make it this far...

They say if the southern half of Iowa seceeded and joined Missouri, the average IQ of both states would go up.
