OMG It’s Contagious and Spreading Faster Than The Swine Flu

There is currently a viral video making its way around the internet from Jay Leno, it is a compilation of clips from the Tonight Show segment called “Jay Walking”. The basic gist of the segments is that our education system is broken. Jay of course is based on the left coast so we wouldn’t expect, based on their voting record, a great number of intelligent individuals. Admittedly Jay does get a good cross section of America due to tourism. I mean what patriotic American doesn’t dream of visiting Hollyweird?

I, probably like a lot of you, attribute this current plague of stupidity to a lack of education, but in recent months I have come to question this hypothesis. We have a majority of Congress, supposedly made up of educated people, voted for bills that they have never read; we have them swallow hook, line and sinker the now defunct data that claims global warming is man-made (and with it the presumption that we as mere mortals can control nature). We have an alleged POTUS who as a “constitutional scholar” believes there are 57 States (more or less), and he also believes that America and her ideals are what is wrong with the world.

I question the intelligence of anyone who believes everything that they are told, but I guess there have always been some people who never question anything. Abraham Lincoln is alleged to have once said, “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” I have noticed few people lately standing up to those, like Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid, who would attempt to obfuscate the truth. Here are some examples:

• “We will have to spend more money in order to avoid bankrupcy” ???? If this is your idea of a good plan could you send me a few thousand dollars to spend … you know just to help you.
• If we build economy cars that have no weight and no power then we will have more highway deaths but we will use less energy and we will decrease the population so its a win – win situation for the country.
• Check the pressure in your tires, spend the 50 cents required weekly to keep your wheels inflated. This will go a long way towards our becoming energy independent.
• Paint your roof white to reflect heat. Be sure to use the proper exterior grade paint so that the Sun’s energy is reflected. Yes, we know that this will release more VOC’s in the atmosphere but not CO2.
• If it isn’t a hot topic search on Google then it’s not important.

These are just a few of the things I have noticed. Please feel free to comment and add more.
