There are many things on this planet that I don’t understand. Like how Red Sox fans hate Yankee fans because they’re the highest paid baseball team when they themselves are the second highest paid in MLB. Or why Carrot Top still has a semblance of a career, or how that kid from ‘Differn’t Strokes’ never understood what “Willis was talking ’bout”.

Among the things that basically mystify me about this universe is one dominating factor. If Charles Darwin was right about ‘Natural Selection’ or ‘Survival of the Fittest’, how is it that stupid people have not only survived through the ages but seem to be vastly dominating the planet!

Everywhere you look there seems to be people that should have been killed off almost instantaneously at birth or shortly thereafter. Is the ‘stupid person’ gene genetic or just a highly developed gene mutation that was thrust upon some poor unwitting soul? Either way it boggles the mind as to how they still exist. Life is hard enough without having to deal with people that make you want to constantly pull your hair out.

I have a bumper sticker that says ‘don’t drink and park, accidents cause people’ and it couldn’t be closer to the truth. It makes me wonder how something like common sense not only completely bypassed these people, but also didn’t even get close enough to slightly slap ANY kind of sense into them. Is it the effect of education? Or lack thereof? If that were true then how would you explain Albert Einstein flunking math and not going to college; Thomas Edison and Benjamin Franklin, who were basically high school dropouts…answer me that one?

There are stupid people everywhere who have been to college but still give concern as to their development as a knuckle dragger. Not only that but they hit you with absolutely no warning. You are defenseless against their powers, especially if they swarm ‘en mass’. It’s almost like the movies ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’ or ‘The Faculty’.

I hope one day in the not-so-distant future, there will be a cure for those who suffer the syndrome of the stupid and this place will once again be inhabitable with out worrying about being at the bottom of the ‘intelligent life out there’ totem pole.
