Should you happen to read Dowd and Friedman in the NYT today, you might conclude that stupidity is unstoppable!
Dowd relates a Thanksgiving Dinner where all her relatives are big Dubya Backers. And, Friedman notes that for all his rush to war, Dubya has no idea of what comes next!
Indeed, while picking up some coffee this morning, two reasonably normal and intelligent looking guys, within ear shot, where loudly bemoaning the teaching of evoution in the schools as "fact."
My own Thanksgiving Dinner was more liberal, indeed, almost a bunch of Deaniacs! Alas, maybe next year we'll invite Dowd over for some turkey in a less hostile atmosphere.
STILL, THERE ARE A TON OF REALLY REALLY STUPID PEOPLE IN AMERICA TODAY!
And, for that reason, I fear for the future of America....if indeed anyone now really believes that America has a future!
Frankly, I'm having serious doubts. That's why I've started posting emigration links on this boards links page; see News for American Expats in the links section herein. Younger people should seriously consider leaving Ameica ASAP if they want to have any future at all.
ALAS, IT MAY BE TIME FOR WHOLE FAMILIES TO START THINKING ABOUT LEAVING THE US FOR THE MORE RATIONAL AND TOLERANT PARTS OF THE GLOBE.
BECAUSE....THINGS WILL NOT GO WELL HERE IN THE US FOR A LONG LONG TIME TO COME.
THE ECONOMY HAS PRETTY MUCH BEEN LOOTED TO THE BONE.
AND, THE STUPIDS ARE BEING ENCOURAGED TO "VOTE JESUS."
RELIGION TRULY IS THE OPIATE OF THE AMERICAN MASSES NOWADAYS!
AND, THE RELIGOUS RIGHT IS ON AN OPIATE HIGH THAT CAN ONLY END IN A DISASTER! ....A CRASH OF BIBICAL PROPORTIONS IS COMING!
Still, it has occured to me that humanity may have a "self-destruct" gene that kicks in every 40 or 50 years.....where logic and reason and intelligence are simply not wanted.
TODAY, WE ALL SEEM TO BE ON A TRIP TO HELL WITH JESUS AND DUBYA LEADING THE WAY!
AND EVERYONE IS SINGING HYMNS! AND SHOUTING HOSANNAS!
Of course, some of us aren't singing; we're just moving our lips and hoping no one notices.....................
LET THE STUPIDS RULE! THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY OF THEM FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES EDITORIAL PAGE TO HANDLE!
EVERY SO OFTEN IT TAKES A "SMOLDERING RUIN" TO WAKE PEOPLE UP.
A WRECKED ECONOMY. A SOCIETIAL BREAKDOWN.
A WORLD OF GODS AND MONSTERS IS WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT NOW.......
My advice to Ms. Dowd? Get thee to a nunnery!
This isn't your world anymore.
