When Evil Met Stupid
by Matthew Hubbard | Apr 22 2007


The question is asked all the time, by people of all political stripes. Is some person evil or just incompetent? Is some horrible situation caused by evil or incompetence? We want the simplest answer, but in this world, simple isn’t always correct. In too many situations today, we have collisions of Evil and Stupid, and they always conspire to make the world worse.
