An Idea Whose Time Has Come?


You ever meet people who are so smart they're stupid? [More]

Yes, I've actually met some big-brain scientists who needed keepers to follow them around to make sure they did things like bath and dress (not even dress appropriately, just wear some clothes.)

Used to be think-tanks, brain-trusts or universities (back when they were places of thought and discourse, not money-grubbing shite-holes of pseudo-progressivism) understood this and made sure the 'assistants' could handle their 'mentors' (and make sure said mentors bathed, looked proper and said nothing too out of place at fund raising mixers.)

But this dogsqueeze? This is some Central State Collectivist Progressive wrapping 5 pounds of dog poop in a ribbon and calling it 'Deluxe Chocolate.'

I've heard more truthful sales pitches from used car salesmen at those cheesy used car lots located in shady parts of town that really try to dissuade you taking the car to a real mechanic for a checkup.

The authors of this garbage aren't stupid. They're quite smart and clever. They think we're the stupid ones.

Trust me. I used to work in Law Enforcement as one of those faceless civilian proles who combed through all the databases that didn't communicate to each other (DL database, Court database, Crime database, Taxroll database, Utilities database, NCIC databases) to assemble really complete background info on people. If I had access to ATF's or FBI's database I would have looked through those, too, to complete a profile.

Nothing stops someone at ATF from searching and hard copying information into a hard file located conveniently in a central storage point for ATF agents and other Gubmint employees and elected representatives to peruse.

Yikes! It's like a gun version of Facebook. Put all your information onto our servers and we'll help you... Yeah, right, pull the other one. By the way, there wasn't a week at work where some thuggalicious turd-burglar didn't either catch a case or violate parole because some suspicious cop looked at said mope's facebook page and, et voila, there is said idjit with a picture of him/her/it with guns, drugs, money, hos, and openly talking about the semi-illegal to totally-illegal things they've just done. Funny, no? No...

Argh, ranting again. Foaming at the mouth. Must stop eating Mentos while drinking Diet Coke...

In the mid-to late 60's we went to a church in Linthicum, MD. We had a fair number of members who worked at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Beltsville; literally rocket scientists. I vividly recall how one of these worthies was entirely flummoxed on discovering that his car had a flat tire and that he had no idea how to change it. Oops.
