About Me

In writing the "About Me" portion of this blog I thought about the purpose of the blog - namely, preventing the growth of Socialism & stopping the Death Of Democracy in the American Republic & returning her to the "liberty to abundance" stage of our history. One word descriptions of people's philosophies or purposes are quite often inadequate. I feel that I am "liberal" meaning that I am broad minded, independent, generous, hospitable, & magnanimous. Under these terms "liberal" is a perfectly good word that has been corrupted over the years to mean the person is a left-winger or as Mark Levin more accurately wrote in his book "Liberty & Tyranny" a "statist" - someone looking for government or state control of society. I am certainly not that & have dedicated the blog to fighting this. I believe that I find what I am when I consider whether or not I am a "conservative" & specifically when I ask what is it that I am trying to conserve? It is the libertarian principles that America was founded upon & originally followed. That is the Return To Excellence that this blog is named for & is all about.

Intelligence Test

Click here to take an intelligence test that is fun & thought provoking - Carol enjoyed it & scored higher than me. It is claimed that the test is over 50 years old & Bill Gates (richest or second richest man in the world along with Carlos Slim) once took this test & got only three right although I could not verify that.

Please let me know how you did. For me taking the test was like returning to my college physics days when I left every exam thinking I had scored 100. These physics tests too were multiple choice but the professor provided the correct answer & had also worked the problem wrong from every conceivable angle & provided all of these wrong answers as well. Physics made me hate multiple choice tests. This intelligence test was actually more enjoyable for me than college physics exams for some reason.

    Scored 11 out of 11. To be fair tho, I had seen a couple of them before. Almost got tripped up on a few until I re-read the questions.
