Many people ARE too stupid to make decisions about their lives. Half the population is under average intelligence.
Look at NO before, during, and after Katrina. A large number of people sat around waiting for someone else to do something, and made no personal plans for survival at all. A lot of people may be too broke to buy food, but they can afford tattoos.
I’ll sum the intelligence level of much of the population in one word: Detroit.
I'd like someone to do this experiment: Take one real smart leftist professor and one good old red neck country boy.
Give them each a box of waterproof matches, some rope, some string and a good old knife.
Drop them both in the middle of a wilderness area and see who come's out alive and who dies within a week.
I think the stupid one will be the leftist professor.
Since the professor doesn't smoke, he'd throw away the matches, rope would be useless as he doesn't even know how to make a knot, couldn't use the string to make a snare for food, and if he did see a rabbit, wouldn't know how to kill it to eat so the knife would also be useless...
That old professor is a dead end dummy..
Does this make sense to anyone or am I just spitting into the wind..
