Science fiction writer Ben Bova wrote:
The most prescient — and chilling — of all the science fiction stories ever written, though, is “The Marching Morons,” by Cyril M. Kornbluth, first published in 1951. It should be required reading in every school on Earth.

The point that Kornbluth makes is simple, and scary: dumbbells have more children than geniuses. In “The Marching Morons” he carries that idea to its extreme, but logical, conclusion.

Kornbluth tells of a future world that is overrun with dummies: men and women who don’t know anything beyond their own shallow personal interests. They don’t know how their society works, or who is running it. All they care about is their personal — and immediate — gratification.

A comedy with similar reference....Watch the trailer......click me

Park Your Yota

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood advised owners not to drive any of the millions of Toyota vehicles involved in the recent recalls.

LaHood went on to say, "they got a mind of their own"......."their killer cars"....."Toy should not be part of the name, it's not a toy.......they should be called, Killyotas"

Meanwhile congress is looking into a "Cash for Yota's" program that will give Toyota owners cash towards a brand new Government Motors (GM) vehicle, and added "We will also throw in a free H1N1 shot to the first 20,000 customers".

Robert Sueme, president of ACA....... Ambulance Chasers of America, said we have hired more employees to keep up with the enormous volume of calls from concerned owners of Yota's asking if they can be part of a lawsuit, and what type of injuries should they have in order to get the big bucks.

On a sad note it is reported more and more spouses, employers, relatives and even politicians, are being asked to walk in front of Yota's in an attempt to blame the auto maker for the fatal injuries sustained when the vehicle experiences one of these apparent sudden accelerations.

In Florida, investigation has begun into accidents that occurred over the past 6 years which involved senior citizens where the vehicles plowed into stores, garages, onto busy sidewalks, golf courses and where the drivers claimed they hit the gas instead of the brake, to determine if it really was their fault or were they just driving Toyotas.

"Prius owners need not to worry" a spokesperson for Toyota said, "those vehicles cannot gather enough speed to sustain any damage or injuries........even when going downhill......with a strong wind behind them........If the vehicle does accelerate suddenly, then step out of the vehicle and applaud"
