<snip>

"If you are not among the brain dead, but among the less stupid, you should be feeling a funny, sinking sensation in the pit of your stomach by now, as if you were in an aircraft at high altitude when suddenly you hear the sound of silence and you're dropping at a high speed toward the ground.

We're at that point where the line between the stupid and the less stupid is just a state of mind and we're all going to go down together because there are more of them than they are of us, and they have the controls.

The final, most ironic thing of all, is the fact that it is the highest values of the brain dead - their moronic religious beliefs which allow them to lie, kill and praise God all in the same breath - that will destroy the world and all the life in it.

Is there any hope at all? Can we be saved? It's possible. If we keep going in the war mongering way that we're going and manage to stir up a few more wars and bring about the deaths of a few more hundred thousand, including a good number of our own - without bringing on Armageddon - many in the ranks of the stupid but who are not yet certifiably brain dead may come over to the side of the less stupid, putting us in the majority..."

[SHRED]

1. "levity"?

I liked the article but it's pretty heavy.

"But I figure the odds of that are about a million to one. And even if the less stupid does, by the grace of God, become the majority, I doubt that that would be enough to change the fate of the world at this late date."

3. You know my warped sense of humor...

[Karenina]

8. Remember how we didn't worry much about nuclear destruction

way back there when Bill Clinton was president! Those were the "happy times"!

[FreedomAngel82]

10. Ah yes

[Karenina]

5. It's hysterical alright, but not in the way you mean.

:-(

6. Sometimes I have to laugh

to keep myself from crying. :hug:

[tnlefty]

7. I read this while looking for some other info. a day or so ago and

I had the 'part of me is laughing while part of me wants to cry and scream' reaction. I hope that the braindead at the Pachyderm convention that's in Chattanooga this weekend see this!

[FreedomAngel82]

12. Convention here this weekend??

Do you mean Riverbend or something else??

[tnlefty]

15. The Pachyderm Club is having its annual convention this weekend

(beginning today, I think) at the trade and convention center. Full of shit repukes will be all over downtown. Another reason to stay away from downtown for me. Might step in pachyderm poop.

11. I know what you mean

If I wasn't laughing I'm crying. So I'd prefer to laugh.

[Karenina]

21. Laughing is cathartic.

The Dean brouhaha has me :rofl:

[FreedomAngel82]

9. That's so funny

LOL. I love that magazine. It's good for local news here.

[FreedomAngel82]

13. I love this part

Snip: <President George W. Bush showed that he was brain dead when he claimed that he was guided by a higher power in his decision to attack Iraq. He was brain dead when he decided that that higher power wouldn’t mind him lying about his reasons.>

and this part Snip: <Everyone in Bush’s administration is a brain dead liar, from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to spit-haired Paul Wolfowitz, Bush’s nominee for president of the World Bank. Everyone that Bush nominates to any position is brain dead. Every congressman that supports him is brain dead and every American that supports him is brain dead.

Not only do we have a greater stockpile of weapons of mass destruction than all other nations combined, we’re building more of them at a faster rate than all other nations combined.>

[Karenina]

16. ...spit-haired Paul Wolfowitz...

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl: EWWWWWWW!!!!

[RBHam]

14. A profound article, using humor to point out truth.

Fantastic.

[H2O Man]

22. "....sing humor to point out truth."

I like that. Humor is a powerful weapon.

20. Chip 'n Dale style...

NOOOO, thank YOOOU!!! ;-)

23. Love it!

24. Stupid is a word

that was banned from use by my parents. We were carefully trained to clearly refer to a situation or behaviour and NEVER directly call ANYONE stupid. Unfortunately the level of stupid in this world has grown exponentially and tiptoeing around calling it out has become weary-making. This writer just "let 'er rip!" What a hoot!
