“People are all born ignorant but they are not born stupid.”
On this point I disagree with the good doctor. Some people are born stupid, and there is nothing you can do about it.
Ignorance is curable, stupidity is terminal.
The Invisible Killer
Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted
thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental
inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there.
Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage.
Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and
possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance.
For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.
Dihydrogen monoxide:
is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
contributes to the “greenhouse effect.”
may cause severe burns.
contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.
Contamination Is Reaching Epidemic Proportions!
Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream,
lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global,
and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has
caused millions of dollars of property damage in the US.
Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
as an industrial solvent and coolant.
in nuclear power plants.
in the production of styrofoam.
as a fire retardant.
in many forms of cruel animal research.
in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains
contaminated by this chemical.
as an additive in certain “junk-foods” and other food products.
Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done
to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is
extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!
The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution,
or use of this damaging chemical due to its “importance to the economic
health of this nation.” In fact, the navy and other military
organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing
multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations.
Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a
highly sophisticated underground distribution network.
Many store large quantities for later use.
The Horror Must Be Stopped!

heh heh heh
I remember reading that sometime back and I believe there may have been pics with the article. It may even have been here on FR.
Reminds me of the Man Show episode where they got women at a mall to sign a petition banning women’s sufferage.
>> It was once the proud declaration of many educators that “We are here to teach you how to think, not what to think.”
Serious, serious problem for the lazy minded.
Protesting non-feel-good stuff is the predicate to the erroneous sense of popular decency.
I am so damn glad to be in the often uncomfortable position of disagreeing with the devoid, feel-good trends. At least at FR, this is not a problem.
Not only do the youth know very little, but they think they have depth of understanding & try to demean others who may truly be knowledgeable on issues.
There is no personal admission of ignorance on issues. People who do not know about a subject will no longer go and learn about it, they try to fake a response and pretend they have knowledge. When they are exposed they get angry & shut down the conversation.
That’s a great way to put it.
Hah. The brainwashed masses think your evil. Muhahah.
Thanks Jaz
Profundity from the good Dr.!
(Anybody who has ever had teenage kids knows exactly what he means.)
Dang! You nailed that squarely on the head. :-)
Excellent! Hits the nail smack on the head.
“Artificial stupidity” describes most of the Leftist sycophants well doesn’t it.
Thanks for the ping jaz.
Indeed. We’re not all created equally, no matter what.
I wandered into expressing this exact thought tonight in a discussion.
Part of intelligence is having the discretion to be able to reject an absurdly wrong idea. And I believe (as a side-effect) that this is one reason why so many libs have almost no sense of satirical humor....and as a side-side effect must constantly resort to calling “racism” or “sexism” or claiming offense to a turn of phrase that nobody with a brain could give a crap about. They often cannot discriminate between a genuinely offered idea submitted as a solution to one of their favorite dilemmas, and a piece of absurdity purposefully offered in the name of ridiculousness. So long as the idea, no matter how harebrained, is offered by an apparently scholarly source, it could be literally anything. Having no moral nor discriminatory compass, the course of settling for what I call “bumper-sticker-depth” slogans becomes so much more comforting. It’s remarkable how many so-called educated libs are stuck on such oversimplified banalities (Bush lied-people died...Republicans are the party of greed, etc;) and yet they are always decrying how simplistic and moronic Conservative ideas are. The reality is, not only have they never examined Conservate ideas, they lack the intellectual tools to evaluate them.
One of his best articles yet, in my opinion.
