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

Make The Old Farts Work

Work till ya drop.

Boehner said he'd favor increasing the Social Security retirement age to 70 for people who have at least 20 years until retirement, tying cost-of-living increases to the consumer price index rather than wage inflation, and limiting payments to those who need them.
"I got a Boner" then goes on to tell us how broke the US is...............

"We need to look at the American people and explain to them that we're broke," Boehner said. "If you have substantial non-Social Security income while you're retired, why are we paying you at a time when we're broke? We just need to be honest with people."

I have no problem with spending cuts. But.......but the cuts MUST be across the board.

Asked about funding the war in Afghanistan, given his dire view of the government's financial condition, he replied: "How can we afford not to? The number one responsibility of the federal government ... is to provide security to the American people. As difficult as it is and as expensive as it is, we don't have a choice."
Fuckin,  "I got a Boner" is tellin the old farts to stop complainin or he will take away the handicripple parking spots at all Wal-Marts.
Whats mo important.......... Haliburton, Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Exxon/Mobil......... or some old fart that has to collect the shopping carts at Wal-Mart in order to make ends meet?
Exactly......... defense contractors.
It costs big bucks for our 700+ military bases spread out in the 130 out of 194 nations on this planet.
Waaaaayyyyy more important than grandma and grandpa. Besides, all they do is nap and play bingo. Boring.
Our military protects us from those evil doers and that guy Al..........Al.........oh crap I always forget his last name........then how about his cousin Bin........ uhmmm  Bin ........ ahfugetaboutit.
