What is a person to do?
This is a vanity post

Posted on 06/17/2008 12:18:49 PM PDT by ProudFossil

What is a person to do? I having been perusing the various postings about events in the world from oil to politics to global warming to elections to etc., etc., etc.

I am going crazy. The massive amounts of stupidity being exhibited by the vast majority of people in the world is beginning to drive me out of my mind.

The only solution I can think of is to quit reading the newspapers, watching tv, and giving up forums such as Free Republic.

Where has the intelligence gone or are we actually witnessing the coming of the Messiah AKA Aliboma?

Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything, by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Phl 4:7

As I’ve stated previously, my post-election plan, should Kid Dyne-O-Mite win?

Jump in the swamp
dig a hole
jump in the hole
pull the hole in after me

And if Cap’n Queeg wins?

Same plan...

Please keep in mind that most politicians and reporters are idiots. Being leftists will make many of them even stupider, but most are just plain dumb to begin with. Do you think a newspaper reporter or a politician can really understand science, etc?

And don't think for a second republican or conservative politicians are any smarter. They are just the stopped clocks that tell you what you want to hear most of the time as opposed to once a day.

A very smart man told me, before he passed away, that America is not producing the smart people in the world today.

You have to remain aware of basics to tend to your finances, and prepare for events.

But I’d have to say unplugging is the best way to keep from exploding watching all the lunacy around us.

This is nothing new, you can just be exposed to it 24/7 365 from a ton of sources now.

Take a break.

I stopped watching television long ago - it's the principle cause of insanity in our society, it's literally making people crazy. I only watch DVD movies I choose to watch.

I limit my 'consumption' to FR, michellemalkin.com, and daybydaycartoon.com.

Otherwise I'd go nuts too.

“Clearly we have become a nation of dumbies”

Wow, the poster was flamed for the misspelling, and you repeated it. I guess the answer is clear.

I know whatcha mean. I had to stop reading FR so much. I only turn my computer on once or twice a week these days. I get so angry and I’m tired of spending my days and (sleepless) nights being po’d.

The intelligent seem to be outnumbered by the politically correct, commie, socialist, lead-me-around-by-my-nose, can’t-form-a-logical-thought, indifferent, and outright stupid who show up at the polls to vote.

We’re in a no-win situation.

I have to respond that I have serously considered selling out and moving to one of the Caribbean Islands where I do not have tv or Internet, just rum.
