Ah, brave new world that has no morons in it
The world is full of idiots. Which wouldn’t be a problem if they all stayed at home and kept very quiet. Unfortunately, they don’t. Like zits, they always show up where they are most unwelcome - on, or in your face. In fact, if they weren’t such a collective pain in the arse already, you would wish them, individually, to suffer from this.
From bad parents to mad governments; from Neanderthal cons to politically correct zombies; from mental crusaders to marauding armies - idiots everywhere.
It’s no use to cry havoc and sick the dogs of war on all morons: there are simply too many of them. Better to throw in the towel before you even start - or burn the damn thing, so you won’t be tempted to try and fight another day.
When you can get fired for yawning, fined for mistakenly selling one bad brand of beer for another tasteless brew and be told that playing online games is tantamount to aiding and abetting Osama Bin Laden… I mean, what’s the use?
Sometimes though - a very few times, admittedly, but still - one can detect glimmers of sanity, when people not only accept that they are the lowest of the low but even loudly demand to be recognized as such.
Only problem: how in the world can you judge these things? Most of the time it’s like having to pick from some Hellish menu, what’s the most unpalatable food available.
So, you choose:
What’s more disgusting: Bush’s instruction to the mothers of dead soldiers or O.J. Simpson writing a what-if murder book?
What’s more laughable: fundies who, yet again, want to ban Harry Potter from school libraries or PC plods who think that Asterix is a danger to children?
What’s more pathetic: Christian cretins who think George Lucas is Satan’s toy boy or Islamic imbeciles who think Barbie is part of a Jewish conspiracy against Muslims?
It’s wishful thinking, of course, but it’s still nice to dream of a world, where each and every meddlesome, loud mouth moron would be treated like bad singers in Philippine karaoke bars - even if that meant that there would not be enough people left for the human race to sustain itself.
Not that that would be such a big loss. I’m sure the other animals would do pretty well without us - when you let them, they get along a Hell of a lot better than humans have ever done, anyway.
Or else we could give the robots a shout at repopulating the earth, when we are gone. I’m sure they’d be up for it.
