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

Brown Wins

The people have spoken.........They sent a message to the White House..........Let's take our country back.........hold on.....I just got a wicked deja vu......tap tap tap tap tap
Oh ya wasn't it back in 2006 when the dems took control from the repulicans and we said the same thing? 08 elections? Clinton over old fart Bush?
What happen?
What about the time before that, and before that. Anything? Did it matter. NO. because if republicans were better than democrats than republicans would never have lost control and vicea versa dems are no better than republicans.
It will happen again this November and in 2012.
It's like a broken record.
And it will be played over and over and over, till someday, someday the little light bulb will be turned on above our heads and we will realize who our elected politicians truly represent.
Clue: it's not us.

Healthcare reform will still be passed. It has to. The gov needs the revenue(taxes) and insurance companies need to improve their leveraged portfolios that are stuffed full of toxic overvalued securities. Mark to fantasy won't last forever and once they have to value those securities at market value.....bad news.
Smoke and mirrors.
