How Have We Become a Nation of Dumbies?

I wonder why many honorable businesses, organizations, etc. do not put their money together and purchase various thought-disseminating institutions such as networks, newspapers, etc.

Unfortunately for idealism, these are not institutions but businesses. The press buys ink by the trainload and must have something to sell to pay for the ink. That's the way it goes. Make money and you are in business; lose money and you are out of business.

Well, technically, a Star Wars character, a fictional manager of a band, and an insurance company. And the sign off of a famous evolutionist.

There's nothing so odd about that. Kemal Ataturk had an entire menagerie called Abdul!

Well, he seems not to have taken the kidding too well. Big mistake. Around here, you have to be able to laugh at yourself sometimes because others certainly will!

His other problem was that his typo was just too deliciously perfect for anyone here to pass up.

As it stands, it appears that all it'd take would be for some honorable, dutiful men to occupy our government. Even the ones who are on our side often do not look like it.

Now that was dumb... but hey, I thought the same thing years ago too. Our leaders can sin and be forgiven for their sins, not the foreign leaders. I just wish our sinning leaders figured that one out, then they would not sin in vain. That's the key, to sin, but not in vain.
