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.

Goldfinches Attack School Kids



New York (Reuters) - A flock of Goldfinches surrounded a North Attelborrow elementary school yesterday and attacked 13 school children bringing the total number of attacks this year to 126. Although there were no life threatening injuries reported, many of the school children said they will never venture outdoors again unless they have a pocket full of rocks.
New York representative Herb Bugerbrain said he wants to see a ban on bird feeders to decrease the number of these killer birds and is proposing installing rock buckets on every playground and in every city park. "It's insane to feed these predators, we must put an end to these attacks".
"They kill ducks" said George Longhorn, "I've seen them kill ducks and that leaves less for us duck hunters to hunt in order to keep the population of ducks down". "They are dangerous and you should shoot Goldfinches".
Ted Hackenstein from the NY Fish and Game said they will update the statement on their web site claiming  Goldfinches don't attack.
Anyone with any information to the whereabouts of these killers should contact your local hunting club.
