I'm sorry, don't know w...S-E-C S-E-C S-E-C<br /><br />I'm sorry, don't know where that came from. I used to root only for my team, but since they've sucked for a while, I guess I just root for my conference. Still, a billion dollars is not bad for a conference. Imagine the money if they had a playoff. <br /><br />I've been saying it for years myself. Give them kids money! Give them bonus cash for winning, just let 'em be pros. <br /><br />I think dumb is the new cool, well, maybe it always was, but I mean for voters. It feels like the collective IQ of our elected officials has been trending downward - especially now that one of the more effective techniques used against an opponent who dares to discuss actual issues it to call him or her a nerd or an egghead (really, I think the term is elitist, but they mean nerd)<br /><br />I hated that movie Idiocracy because I thought it was absurd.

Actually, people are just stupid. But! as it relates to your example, I'd say that people are just completely apathetic. They don't care, and they don't really care that they don't care. It's like eating sugar, you know that it's bad for you, that it causes all sorts of health problems, but, in the moment, it tastes good, so you don't care about what it's going to do to you in the future.<br />Which is stupid.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.com
