Confirmation of Conformation

Am now a "Canadian AP Scholar." Oh! What wonders! Yet another assurance that my mind conforms, at best, to their requirements. I am "acceptable." How wonderful for me.

But you see, I don't forget the many I've met and still know who don't have the same dumb luck. And where does our superlative system of education leave them? At minumum wage, to be spat upon by the beautiful Intellects of the world. I shall soon enter into the first formal stage of classifying myself above my fellow man: higher education. Who says the Middle Ages have ended?

What I find most disgusting about all this is that I often consent to it. I view myself in the light of "superbrain," and don't mind the utterly frivolous and fiendish taxonomy of worth in which our society indulges. It's ok if you're at the top, right? Well, that's the thought behind the average dictatorship, and where have those got us?
