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

Early Warning System

My early warning system has failed me one too many times and I will be replacing it.
Pat Scott was in charge of warning me via a phone call 2 days prior to my anniversary date informing me as too how many years I have been married and the other some what important info needed to sustain a kinda happy marriage, but for the past several years has not done so which put me in an uncomfortable position.

Perhaps I will get an iPhone cuz I'm sure they make an app for it.
