But, would Democrats really want to have their Genes repaired?

I have always said that "10% of the people will stupid stuff until they are killed, ie, putting a car up on cinder blocks, wiping down the garage floor with gasoline, getting drunk and passing out on railraod tracks, I just hoped they would do it before they reproduced." My theory is it is genetic.

But, would Democrats really want to have their Genes repaired? Yes, but they would add impairments to brilliant people to prevent them from getting ahead.

Here's a philosophical question: would you rather be a bright, reasonably compensated engineer working on cutting edge technology, or the village idiot transposed to Hollywood, making $20m per film, getting all the girls, and having people wait with bated breath to hear every utterance of your enfeebled intellect?

Maybe these scientific knowitalls can find the gene for common sense and use it themselves.

But, would Democrats really want to have their Genes repaired? No, they'd want to genetically damage everyone else to spread the misery.

When informed of the news, Hillary Clinton sneered, "What? Cure it? Where would we get new Democrats??!!"
To: Snerfling
Republicans want to make the stupid smarter.
DemocRATS look at the unfairness of it and reach for the lobotomy tools to equalize intelligence.

One word - Viagra
Not everybody needs it, but the people wanting it (yes, even women) is a larger number than those needing it.
Lets say this "genetic insta smart" stuff works and is safe, to very big ifs. Whats to stop everyone from using it? The bottom 10% will be really smart, but the folks originally at the top, would be like Wiley Coyote, a super genius. This, of course, would relegate the really smart lower 10%, back to idiot status.
Forget about smarts, what we need to work on is developing in folks a sense of right from wrong, personal responsibility, and logical thinking.
Just my two cents.

When this stupidity cure is discovered, Watson should sign up for a double dose.

Here's one:
"Hey, Bert. I've noticed that this here acetone will strip that old floor wax. You run the buffer while I mop it to the floor."
