Oh, sure, Howard...

Man, they'd have to go a long way to be as stupid as you.

I've met plenty of Third World people. They did not generally strike me as being stupid. They deal with real gut-level reality. You deal with Nintendo, McDonalds, DVDs, the Internet, and "Survivor". You live in a society that is beyond pathetic in its obsession with material goods and its moral and spiritual bankruptcy. You don't even HAVE a real democracy. Your elections are a joke, your political parties are shills for corporate policy, your votes are meaningless. You control nothing. You are wage animals in search of mindless entertainment. You live in the Matrix already.

You are living in a world of dreams.
