Subject: RE: BS: So why ARE we so damn stupid???
I'm not sure if it's stupidity or insanity, Spawzer...

We know what Einstein had to say about insanity: repeating behavior and expecting different results...

I was listenin' to C-SPAN radio yesterday on the way home from work and they were replaying a one year celebration gathering of landing the Rover on Mars and thinking to myself, "Hmmmm, these is some purdy smart people." and then thinking about all the goofy solutions that people come up with to solve problems... That list is endless...

I remember back in the 70's when the governemnt was *trying* to build the "mixing bowl" on the Virginia side of the Potomac River (around the Pentagon). Heck, they built entire overpasses that had to be torn down because they didn't actually connect to anything...

Nah, yer right. It's stupidity with a touch of insanity...

Don't forget to wear the hip boots when ya go out today for that gallon of milk...
