18. I think the election of morans encourages other morans to think their opinions are relevant

Imagine how inspiring someone like Palin or W is to aspiring morans. I mean if one is stupid, you have to be thinking, hey I may not be smart enough to put a round peg in a round hole, but at least I can be president. Then you have the 24 hour cable news effect where at any given moment someone is putting a microphone in a moran's face and asking them what they think. Back in the day when there were only 3 or 4 channels, networks had to be more selective of who they put on. So maybe Buckley was an asshole who was wrong most of the time, but at least he was literate enough to publicly debate someone like Chomsky(not that Chomsky is always right either, but just sayin'). These days Chomsky is lucky to get air time to debate morans like Alex Jones. The entire public discourse has gone straight down the toilet.
