It is an obvious and blatant stupidity beyond my ability to articulate how dumb it is for us not to teach our children how to run the government.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Even the dumber parts of our government are not run by idiots. These are ordinary people like us, doing a job. By and large, they're trying to do it as well as they can. Or at least as often as people in the private sector try to do as well as they can.
How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it.
Stupidity is the deliberate cultivation of ignorance.
People aren't as stupid as the politicians think. More and more of us are laughing off our 'civic duty' to vote, rejecting the role of compulsory constituent.
Children are very smart, in their own stupid way. A child's brain is like a sponge, and you know how smart sponges are.
Here's the teaching point, if you're teaching kids about intelligence and policy: Intelligence does not absolve policymakers of responsibility to ask tough questions, and it doesn't absolve them of having curiosity about the consequences of their actions.
You can't legislate against stupidity.
Stupidity really gets me going, when it's just plain stupid, obvious stupidity.
It's crazy how intelligent kids can be at a very young age and how they know what they know.
The United States has got some of the dumbest people in the world. I want you to know that we know that.
