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

We're All Gonna Die !!! Help !!!

U.S.suits mount over Toyota-acceleration deaths, injuries

Toyota Motor Corp, which recently recalled 2.3 million vehicles in the U.S. to fix sticking gas pedals, faces lawsuits involving at least three deaths that allegedly link so-called sudden acceleration to other causes.
Toyota's Jan. 26 decision to stop U.S. production and sales of eight models to fix defective accelerator pedals.........

Ahh yup.......lets put more folks out of work.

Feb. 7, 2008 -- The World Health Organization (WHO) today warned that 1 billion people worldwide could die of tobacco-related causes this century unless "urgent action" is taken.

So 3 alleged deaths and a massive scare.........1 billion deaths and they make tobacco makers put a little warning label on the package.

Wouldn't it be crazy if those that died while driving a Yota, were on their way to buy cigarettes, naked, had a 12 pack of beer next to their BigMac w/fries, being shot at while looking for the 9mm that fell next to the mold covered bottle of Oxycontin ..............hey

Zero deaths from marijuana...........Pot is safe. Smoke pot and use public transportation.
