Demonstrably Stupid


Some people say human death seems to come in threes. They delight in
citing examples.

Recently, Johnny Cochran, the "if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit"
lawyer who got murderer O.J. Simpson acquitted, died. Number two is
Terri Schiavo, the cortex-deprived woman who, after fifteen years in a
vegetative state, recently was granted her wish to not be kept alive by
artificial means. Now, we hear Pope John Paul is experiencing heart failure
and is gravely ill. His death will likely render a pair three of a kind in some
people's minds.

Never mind that the three coincidentally died within days of each other,
many people will still claim that famous people die in threes.

There is commonality in the coincidence, however. What all three deaths
have in common is stupid people use these three individuals to publicly
demonstrate their stupidity, to push their politics and to foster more stupidity.

In the case of Johnny Cochran, stupid jurors were responsible for his fame.
Mr. Cochran and O.J. Simpson were fortunate to have been the beneficiary
of a half-dozen cretins with more chimpanzee genes than human sitting in
the jury box and a culture of African American bias and ignorance at a
bonobo cranial capacity level. We had the politics of culture bias and
reverse discrimination against a murdered white woman.

Terri Schiavo inspired the mass insanity of thousands of right-wingers who,
share with liberal, failed Vice Presidential candidate, John Edwards, the
belief that Terri, like Christopher Reeves, would be up and walking if it
weren't for conservative judges, and the liberal culture of death. Nonsensical
and stupid! We see the politics of liberal vs. conservative.

When the Pope goes to his reward, stupid people will say all sorts of stupid
Things, not the least among them, the idiocy that the Pope's death proves
famous people die in threes. We will see the politics of church vs. state.

Dear reader, let's get to the heart of the matter. We see increasing strife the
world over. It seems to be particularly rampant in the U.S.A. and we've even
seen more than our fair share of it here in a sailing newsgroup. We now have
this red state/blue state mentality couching stupidity in political terms.

There is a divide in the U.S.A. But, make no mistake, it's NOT a political
divide. It's an intelligence divide. It is the stupid vs. the intelligent.
It's only stupid people who believe the death of famous people comes in
threes. Only stupid people believe those with severed spinal chords and
cortexes of Jell-O will walk again in contemporary times. Only stupid idiots
think famous deaths come in threes, politics explain everything, being
simple-minded is a virtue, being mindless is human, being stupid is
something to brag about and censorship is a right.
