The first basic law of human stupidity asserts without ambiguity that:
Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
The Second Basic Law states that:
The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
The Third Basic Law explicitly clarifies:
A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
The Fourth Basic Law states that:
Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
The Fifth Basic Law states that:
A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
The corollary of the Fifth Law is that:
A stupid person is more dangerous than a bandit.
Each of these laws is expounded upon and explained... and the explanation of the theory, with a little thought explains EVERYTHING!
This, however, was penned by a highly intelligent individual.
For a given country, the total intelligence remains the same, though the population increases.
For a given family, the total intelligence remains the same, though the population increases.
No, he just be speakin' ebonically.
No, he was correctly using the subjunctive mood.
