Blind idiots vent their ideas in dictatorships too, Old Guy. :-) Just listen to the government announcements on a regular basis in any dictatorship...or for that matter, most democracies too.

What you seem to be complaining about is when the idiocy in question is a different kind of idiocy from your favorite variety of idiocy.

If I may quote Bob Dylan, "We're idiots, babe! It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves." You could say that about most people in most societies and be at least half right half the time, in my opinion. I look back at the stuff my and my young friends used to say when I was in my teens or twenties. Much of it was idiocy. We thought the older people were idiots. They thought we were idiots. The scary part is, we were probably ALL at least half right about that! Maybe more so.

Be more tolerant of other idiots. They may have far more in common with you than you realize.

Besides, without idiots to propose ideas different from the idiotic ideas of the people on the opposite side of any given dispute, we wouldn't be able to decide who to vote for at election time, because everyone would be getting along too well.

Can't have that!!!! It would destroy the whole political system. Be thankful that there are other idiots willing to oppose your chosen brand of idiocy, and thereby give it meaning in a ruthlessly competitive system.

Idiocy is the hallmark of partisanship! Do not reject it out of hand, lest you destroy the very foundation on which you stand.
