Most people are too busy and too into pop culture, too ignorant of history and too trusting of government rather than prudently distrustful of it, to act independently. Of course they act as a herd. This is how some people get very rich doing what every one else is not. They sell when everyone is buying and they buy when every one is selling.
As H. L. Mencken said, “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.”
2/3 of America can’t tell you what a sub-prime mortgage is, but they can tell you the name, weight, time and of the birth of the latest bastard child born to the current member of Hollywood Slut of the Month club.
It is like my mama taught me...If you follow the crowd, you will get no farther than the crowd....
I’m simply flabbergasted at how stupid some people are:
The woman at work who is crazy about Obama but has absolutely not one iota of his policies or ideas.
Not one!
Last year my daughter was forced to change a shirt she had on at a school function because her polo shirt wasn’t the “right shade” of blue, royal instead of navy. Now I’m all for uniforms and enforicing policy anbd all but get this, the idiots made her put on a t-shirt that didn’t have a school logo on it...and that’s ALL a kid can wear per their very own policy! a polo shirt apparently ONLY in the right shades, OR a t-shirt with the school logo. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Seems they ran out though enforcing their policy that day so they made her put on a t-shirt without a logo since this was all that was left.
So I told the principal: “sooooo you essentially forced her to change one out of regulation shirt or another out of regulation shirt”? I mean to what end?
They’re so DAMNED fixated on anything and everything but education, accountability, religious flexibility...errrrr make that any mere mention of Christianity...all others seemingly get a free pass.
A kid allergic to peanuts asked a kid to buy him a nutty buddy.
One would THINK the family might acutally hold the kid accountable, you know since it’s literally a life and death thingy...but NOOOOOOO, the parent raised such hell that NO CHILD now has access to a nutty buddy anymore.
Frankly, we’re ^$#*@! with a capital F!
