I just came across the chemistry exam (closed book) I took as a high school senior in 1963 (attached).

I suspect a lot of college seniors would have trouble with it in 2017.

Oh yes. "A" on each. Got full scholarship to Cambridge as a result.

They sure don't make multiple choice like they used to.

Looks like walking 10 miles through the snow everyday paid off for you.

Good work young man. But remember, being in the "science elite" of the early 60s does not qualify you to understand the controversy surrounding simple things like the so called "greenhouse gas effect" more than 50 years later!

Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Did they even have greenhouses back then?

No, the world was still black and white.

(Rolls eyes) Amateurs. Any trained professional can clearly see how those photos were faked using a desaturation effect. You ain't foolin' me, I know what CG looks like.

The Calvin & Hobbes explanation, for anyone who hasn't seen it:

A lot of people don't want you to know this - but all joking aside - the advent of color actually came about by hyperactivity in cone cells caused by a variety of food additives such as preservatives, artificial flavorings and especially food coloring. It's essentially ADHD of the eye.

And my generation invented sex in the '60s. The evidence is the complete absence of sex scenes in movies made before that time.

God truly blessed you with great intellect. I looked at your exams and they made little sense to me. I hated those classes in high school and beyond. All I ever hoped for was a C and let me out. Even back then I was more interested in the metaphysical than the physical.

Now our lives have mostly passed. Our candles have burned bright and the flame now is flickering.

Your task now is to find ways to keep your mind busy and your intellect satisfied. I have been given what may be my terminal diagnosis.

We are both on the way to the big event. I don't know what that means to you but to me it is the last adventure.

As are flames die out they fade to black. The difference between us is that I see the light.

I encourage you to look for the light.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Hey buddy, I hope you are still fighting. You mentioned that you were having some medical issues in another thread. You still have work to do here before any flames go out.

A consequence of the decline in scientific literacy in the USA is that there are people who are actually taken in by this rubbish:

Indeed, every time the oboe plays A440 to get the orchestra to tune up, your DNA is being altered to make you hate Trump.

You know it makes sense!

440Hz is the frequency of A above middle C! And what uses lots of A notes? Rock and roll, that's what! No wonder the country is so evil and freemason-ry.

this rubbish

I think that what bothers me almost as much as the folks who listen to, and somewhat believe, this rubbish is the fact that someone gives these idiots airtime.

They give them airtime because they can get listeners. IF they can show, through the rating services, that they have people (even idiots) listening, then the station can sell ads.

And, because the listeners are likely idiots, the advertisers are likely going to see a return on their ad dollars. If the idiots will believe the crap the show host is spouting, they'll believe anything an ad might promise.

Betcha they get a lot of "credit repair", "weight loss" and "testosterone booster" ads.
