stupidity revisited

i give up! thought i'd get some light entertainment after attending a green-party meeting and a peace vigil tonight by pulling up the daily show on my tivo.

the new york times bestseller list #1 (nonfiction/advice) is "natural cures they don't want you to know about" by kevin trudeau, a used car salesman who also did time for credit card fraud,etc. the daily show showed an informercial featuring him and tammy fay baker. he says his book can cure any disease, including aids, cancer, alzheimers, etc. this is the NUMBER ONE nonfiction/advice books that americans are buying!!! HOW FUCKING STUPID CAN YOU PEOPLE BE????? was there a mass-lobotomy i missed?

and then there was 'justice sunday ii'. a bunch of scary ass jesus freaks, including some of the most senior politicians in the republican party praying for jesus-humping judges. i am now convinced that christians are the most scary of all major religions. i have always believed that anybody who believes in some 'overseeing deity' is at the very best severely intellectually impaired and maybe borderline retarded, but i can forgive that, especially if it's some kind of more spirtual rather that traditional religious belief. there might still be hope. but these freaks in that 'justice sunday' mega-broadcast are way, way beyond help. whether they actually believe this religious bullshit or, as i suspect with many of them, are just using it for financial or power-gain, they are so off the stupidity meter that it's completely hopeless.

so what's there to do? you got the mind-boggingly stupid masses, being exploited by the pretty damn stupid few, whose stupidity is only outdone by their greed and mean-ness.

there are only two ways i can see now, maybe i will think of more later: 1) invest everything in education, to avoid bringing up the next generation just as stupid as the last. not just any eductation will do, as the countless masses of complete idiots with MBAs shows.
2) separation: break the country into two very un-equal part: the vast majority of stupid, jesus-, abraham-, mohamed-, or barney-worshipping masses. not giving a fuck about the planet, the rights of other people and nations or even each other. and a small place for the few people who haven't been hit over the head with the stupid-stick. and that wouldn't fall along the lines of the red and blue states, as most democrats are just about as dumb and ignorant as the republicans...

realistic? probably not.

there's my not so cheerful blog for the day.

FUCK YOU!
