Voting on facts doesn't change whether they're true or not, regardless of what the majority chooses.

Third world countries don't have any greater chance of the stupid dying while the smart live and outbreed them. Entirely the opposite is universally observable. In all countries, but in third world ones even more.

I'll certainly put more trust in what the majority of climatologists accept, than what some random dude on /. or says.

They already made a documentary about this. It was called Bioshock. I think I remember that it turned out well for everyone involved...

Yes, yes they are. My old school has a few electronic media degrees. Once upon a time, this meant we had a great radio broadcast program, and a frequency to go with it. The school had an actual broadcast studio on par with many of the local for profit stations in terms of equipment. They even had a separate recording studio set up for interviews and production material, or just so one person could be broadcasting live and others could still learn in the secondary studio. Now the school doesn't have that frequency. They weren't technically allowed to sell the frequency, because it was licensed for educational use, but they've rented it out for an unspecified number of years (the speculation is that its gone for at least 20 years). So yes, schools will whore out their frequencies, to the detriment of students.
