The whole question is: How dumb is too
dumb? The answer in our great nation is:
“It approaches infinity.” Some examples
are: Gas caps on either side of a car.
State colleges priced above what the children of middle income parents
can afford. No universal healthcare on a
planet where most modern industrial nations have figured out how to implement
it. Robot Calls dominating land
lines. Automobile charging stations with
non-universal plug ends. Electing a man
President who said, “When I find a woman attractive, I grab her by the
pussy.” Believing that the universe was
created six thousand years ago in six days.
These are but a tiny example of the stupidity that we accept, from
humans, living on this planet, in this “democratic” nation. And, the answer given is as dumb as the issue
being accepted, “I am only one person.
What can I do about it?”
These examples need … not to be
accepted. In most cases they call for
intelligent regulation by government representatives who actually represent you
(a delusion). Stop accepting Freedom and
Stupidity as synonyms.
To state the obvious, the fuel inlet needs
to be on the driver’s side of the car.
All cars would then pull to the right side of the pumps, just as they
pull to the right side of the road. This
would prevent the cars from facing each other while fueling. This does not lead to an efficient traffic
flow. The driver also would not be required
to walk around his or her car in order to fuel it. There is no insurmountable engineering
problem ever presented in placing the fuel filler inlet on the driver’s side of
the car. Since auto manufacturers don’t
see it that way, it needs to be legislated.
By working full time during summer vacation
and part time while in school, I was able without financial assistance from my
parents to graduate from college without debt.
I attended state universities in Colorado and California. In the sixties, when I attended college, our
nation saw it as tax worthy to send our best and our brightest to a sponsored
college education. In a global economy
including other nations who do sponsor a college education for deserving
students, the US needs to do this in order to compete. It also is good for the future health of the
nation. It’s the smart thing to do.
Universal healthcare is offered by most of
the modern industrial nations to their people.
It offers them a healthier nation.
It results in the children of the poor being given the same quality of
healthcare as the children of the wealthy.
That seems like a good idea and while you are at it why not offer it to
adults as well? We already offer it to those
who are no longer working.
Home telephone services or land lines are
now infested with robot calls. These
calls are rarely if ever placed by reputable companies. They are a nuisance and growing in
frequency. Some avoid them by switching
to cell phone only use, but soon the invasion will be prevalent in cell phones
as well. With corporate technology, what
can be done will be done. So, how is it
that your service supplier does not offer robo-free service to you? I would be willing to pay a small monthly fee
for that feature. It would presently give
the supplier a competitive edge. We
would stop being offered fraudulent imaginary benefits at a price or a
donation. Kill the robot phone systems. Let the person on the other end of your phone
line be someone you wish to speak with.
Not so long ago, it was.
I don’t yet have an electric powered
automobile. I will have one when they
are affordable to the general public. I
heard a man say, on TV this morning, that he has one and that the cable at the
various charging station do not always fit his car. This is a stupidity equal to that of gas
filling on either side of a car. One
standard connection, determined by law
is in order. Searching for a source with
an agreeable connection is not acceptable.
Imagine your TV requiring a different receptacle than your toaster or a
lamp. Each appliance with its own
receptacle design. “How dumb is too
dumb?” Lord, please don’t burden us
with right hand and left hand filling ports forever. The strange thing about this is it would cost
the manufacturers less to standardize.
Legislation should not be required.
It lowers the cost of production.
Works better too.
In a democracy, when a candidate says, “When
I see an attractive woman, I grab here by the pussy.” One wouldn’t expect him
to be elected. Men with respect for
other human beings would not logically vote for that candidate. I would have thought that no self-respecting
woman would. I would imagine that a few
low life males might have that unspoken thought. But a precious few would be dumb enough to
verbalize it to a member of the national press.
Rex Tillerson, the elected President’s first Secretary of State, called
his president a “Fucking Moron”. He knew
him well, but one didn’t have to know him well to observe this. The President, after being given a test for
dementia, claimed genius for remembering all five objects. Democracy abused is democracy denied. (In respect for any gullible reader, who voted
for the man, I am not mentioning the President’s name.)
Now we come to the subject of religion. I do not wish to offend any of you gullible
folks who believe in religion, but I gotta do what I gotta do. The
Holy Bible, the most popular book in Western Civilization, is obviously
mythology. In my experience, most
religious folk believe it was written by God or with His guidance and is fact,
not fiction. The novel begins by telling
you that God created the universe in six days, six thousand years ago. It then tells you that He created the first
woman from the first man’s rib. Anyone
graduating from the fifth grade should know neither of these assertions is a
fact and yet the simple majority of Americans are religious.
Some of you reading this particular blog may
determine that the author is a pompous ass.
You would be correct. Those who
know me well, share your opinion. But,
how about considering the above material as well. Would a torch and pitchfork aid the
appropriate action?
