state of stupid

(250 posts)
16. I was 21, living in my home state (The Future State of Stupid) and it was one hell of a party.

People did not take politics like a life-or-death struggle. That was in a time before the dark times
and the age of Raygun. The weapon that turned three-dimensional thinking into two-dimensional
thinking and began the process of shallow thinking which is why we are where we are at now. The
people in charge cannot see past the end of their nose (which is much farther than their private
parts) to exercise anything that exhibits rational or intelligent thinking. I will be dead and gone
for a very long time if we are going to wait for these brain-dead mother$$ckers to pull their heads
out of their ass and realize that their nose is not covered by peanut butter.
