lowrentyieldmakessense(honest!) Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaP0q_ONLYIMike state education is great http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article12695.html Forrest Gump, when asked “Are you stupid or somethingâ€, responded “Stupid is as stupid doesâ€. A person’s appearance does not prove they are stupid. It is their deeds and actions which prove whether they are stupid or not. The terms stupid and idiot are not politically correct in today’s America. Intellectually challenged, IQ disadvantaged, aptitude deficient, brain power wanting, and acumen poor might satisfy the PC police. Let’s take a look at their definitions according to Webster’s Dictionary and assess whether they might apply to anyone in the increasingly socialized United States of today.Stupid - slow of mind; given to unintelligent decisions or acts; acting in an unintelligent or careless manner; lacking intelligence or reason; lacking in power to absorb ideas or impressions; implies a slow-witted or dazed state of mind that may be either congenital or temporary. Idiot - a foolish or senseless person; a person of subnormal intelligence; a person lacking intelligence or common sense. Besides describing George W. Bush, these definitions sadly describe millions of Americans. As a wise person I know likes to say, “It is a sad state of affairsâ€. Our citizens have failed to heed the wise words of our Founding Fathers: “Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it.†Thomas Paine “Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.â€James Madison “Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army.†Edward Everett The American people’s ignorance, stupidity, and disinterest in the governance of this nation have allowed an oligopoly of politicians, bankers, and powerful corporations to seize control of the country and loot its riches for their personal gain. By failing to educate themselves, millions of ignorant Americans have lost all of their power and are now dictated to by the few with knowledge. The elite who dictate the path of our country do not want the masses to become educated. Their power would be in jeopardy. The American public school system insures the retention of their power and wealth. “Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.†P.J. O’Rourke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
