Unlike the mass media in the US, I will not participate in the deliberate dumbing down of America. I recently discovered, while checking this blog's results at the Website Grader and The Blog Readability Test, that the reading level needed to digest the contents of this blog is above the level most people in the US graduate from high school with.

I'm not really bored. I'm just not interested. Ever since I started working with niche blogs, I've all but lost complete interest in this blog.
