Then politicians came along and have been stopping the progress of man ever since.
#10 Of course, there were geniuses back then, even in the Stone Age.
It's my opinion that human nature hasn't changed at all. There were ALWAYS geniuses:
politicians of some kind
jerks
aholes
dumba**es
bad leaders
worse followers
Back then there was virtually NO COMMUNICATION with people 100 miles away so nothing was known or communicated.
Now we get a continual, constant barrage of every detail of every kind. NOW we get to know when Kim Jong-un breaks wind...live, in color and surround-sound.
