God punishes stupidity. Build a city at below sea level in a hurricane area and sooner or later, it'll be under water.
Yea. But it was amazing what krept out from under the woodwork once that hurricane hit.
You're pretty close. There are definitely consequences to stupid behavior (I've suffered many such consequences). Whether they are God's punishment or not or whether God intervenes sometimes to alleviate the severity of the consequences (there have also been times I have been spared what was coming to me), who knows.
Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love, 1973
