Thanks "Al". I've noticed that compared to your Mensan brilliance,
everybody is an "idiot". I guess that puts me in pretty good company.
Sometimes you are amusing, though. I guess that makes you a crackpot.

"Egg", I'm ALWAYS the last to know!

I knew I could count on you guys to be jealous!

Actually, guys, I've got much better credentials than this. For
example being fired from the Ohio State University Chemistry
Department for "incompetence". A state employee fired for
"incompetence"? Now THAT takes some SERIOUS ability!

Not at all. Abject stupidity is politically correct. To
take pride in having that kind of thinking is astounding.
There is a critical point when the percentage of a population
believes that this kind of thinking is necessary. That's
when a civilization falls.

Not so.

"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the
American public."
H. L. Mencken
US editor (1880 - 1956)

When civilizations really fall is when politicians discover that they
can buy votes by using the public treasury. (See Rome)

I think we are there.

You exhibit the problem.

It has to do with trade and who does the work.

Not yet. But you are an example of the source of the problem.
You don't know how work is done, let alone how to do it. You
are very proud of yourself when you're abjectly stupid (defn.
stupid on purpose to the point where the action transforms
into a religious belief and practice).
