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

Tool Caddy

Morgan (aka Jake) is really turning out to be an asset to have by my side at work.
I told him to hand me my Snap-On stubby phillips drive screwdriver and bingo, he knew exactly which one to grab. Smart dog.


I do have to work on the amount of time it takes him to release the tools and will have to get over the gouges he makes while holding on to them.
