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

Jake

What have we gotten ourselves into.


A big thanks to Ray, Dawn and Trev for giving us first dibs on Jake.
Although we called them after just 36 hrs and said he was too much and that we couldn't do it.......even had all his stuff packed waiting to get picked up.............but the little shit grew on us with every passing moment.
Too many pros and not enough cons to say no.
I mean he even shits in the woods.......... come on...... ya can't get any better than that.



Some fine tuning (chases cats, eats their food) but nothing that can't be solved.

    Gotta keep him. He's a keeper.
    I took him on a long hike(well long for an old fart) Sunday and we had a talk. It was mostly a woods and brook hike so I don't think anyone saw me having a conversation with a dog. Never know.
    I know it's (the hike)what I needed and believe he also needed it.
