[netter then goes on to ask why the kid was killed for failing the exam]

Well, I asked why the kid was killed because he was too intelligent.
There is a maximum IQ level that anyone can have.  I figure that the
government doesn't want any genius people around, so that that can't
cause any trouble.

So, the test is to find out who have IQs above a certain level.  If they
do, they are killed.  The kid passed his test with flying colors.

Sure makes for a society that won't go anywhere.  Very stagnent.  Any 
other ideas, anyone?

BTW, in my last article about that night's stories, I called the
girl in the next story Chasity.  I have been corrected.  I should have
said her name was Charity.  Boy, what one letter would do, especially
when it wasn't even a typo, but a mental.
