Dummies Become What Stupid Is

Let's look at a few of the things that Americans put up with and constantly ask for more: * Unable to count change - when a customer puts 47 cents in a clerk's hand, the clerk has to point to EACH coin slowly, one... at... a... time. I've seen this myself, and couldn't watch it. [dummies become what stupid is] * Slowing down on an interstate to the speed limit - when they see someone on the OTHER SIDE of a STEEL guard rail pulled over (a rail that runs for many miles.) Are these people so intimidated they think the policeman will drop what he's doing, make his car FLY over the steel rail and pursue them? [dummies become what stupid is] * See a parked or moving police car going in the other direction even a block away, and scramble to put their seat belts on. [dummies become what stupid is] * Never clean the crap files off their computer, and then complain when it slows down to a crawl. They also never blow the dirt out of the power supply with cheap canned, pressurized air which will prevent it from overheating and dying without warning. Cost of the can of air? about $5.00. A shop repair, and possibly a new motherboard and CPU makes much more sense, right? [dummies become what stupid is] * The really brilliant ones take their computer in for repair with their hard drive containing everything personal about their life, and put it all into the hands of someone they never have met or even know if they can be trusted with the time of day. Then they complain when they are suddenly the victims of identity theft. [dummies become what stupid is] * Never, ever check the air pressure in their tires at least once a month. Then they return to the dealer complaining about early tire wear out or perhaps catastrophic failure. [dummies become what stupid is] * Never, ever replace their furnace fan filter more than once a year. Never mind the staciobacter and other mold that grows like wildfire in the dark, damp air filter spreading spores all throughout the house. * Buy a big gas-guzzler hog when gas prices are the highest in history. What sense does it make to buy a mid-size or compact car? You're safer in a guzzler, right? Never mind the safety test reports that show these big pigs are prone to ROLL OVER. Minor detail. [dummies become what stupid is] * Listen to that network news every night like a religion. They are the experts. What the hell do you know? The experts and anchors would NEVER, EVER lie to us, right? They have assured us they will tell us "all the news you need to know." If they didn't talk about it on the news, then it must be a lie. [dummies become what stupid is] * Keep believing that Morgellon's disease isn't real. People are imaging that in their minds. They are seeing things that aren't there. Those pictures they take? They are all fakes, right? * Have you noticed that older movies have had the words "terrorists" and "terrorism" inserted into them? That most of the time the actors who say these words - are off camera? You're imaging it. Why would Uncle meddle with movies? * When you're told to register every firearm you have including your rifles, be sure to run out and do that right away! Our founding fathers told us that an armed populace is our protection against a government out of control. What did they know? * Put Northstar and systems like it in your car. No one can silently turn on that microphone, right? Why would Uncle want to do that? What for? What do you have to hide? * Keep that cellphone on at all times! Be sure it's close to your kidneys and/or liver. It will keep them warm on a cold day. It can't hurt you, right? What - just because a recent experiment cooked an egg white in 15 minutes and the yolk in an egg in 65 minutes near a cell phone? I think this is enough to get the point across. Common sense hasn't just slowly disappeared. It's packed up and left the universe, perhaps for good. the balance at http://www.rense.com/general72/dummies.htm
