Just a little reminder, I know we all like to point out how stupid some people are in this country

from time to time- myself included...

Teabaggers, people who say "we protect our own", a few people who post here even. But, I think we get wrapped in our own little world too much at times and forget the bigger picture. So just to remind everyone, there are stupid people EVERYWHERE in this World. We have our version of Teh stupid (see: FR), and other countries have their own. Take for example Saudi Arabia. While the religious police are one version of their idiocy, I would like to present this as well.

Just keep this in mind when you are having thoughts like "America is going to hell" or something similar to that...

(Public Street mind you)

Freedom Fries? Iraq had WMDs? Not him, he looks too French? The surge is working? Don't criticize presidents in wartime, you traitor (unless they're black)? Soshulist Muslin from Kenya? Drill, baby, drill? Don't tax the job creators? But he was wearing a hoodie? Run, Sarah?

Here, let me help you:

In MY low income hood EVERYONE is smart.. They even know how to sell foodstamps to buy such luxuries as soap, toilet paper, pay rent and so on.

I'm Mitt Romney and I approved this post.

when I was recently in the Portland OR area, I saw some drifters, they had taken over a very small little cul-de-sac of dirt off the main driving path through a public park. I thought, way cool!, They have a safe place to drift. Well, yeah/no. Within just a few minutes of my arrival nearby, police showed up and booted them.

At that point I thought, MORONS! At least where they were, they were cleanly out of the way, interfering with no one except as a distraction, but the road passing by was a park road with a 5mph speed so it's not like any accidents from rubbernecking was going to occur. So the police effectively force these otherwise seemingly attentive folks out into the public streets.

Granted not to this point yet, but just as with skateboards and motocross etc, it seems best to just go ahead and build/provide a somewhat safe place for such rather than forcing into the public arena where bystanders are at a risk they didn't want to be a part of.

Though I would wonder why any woman in her right mind would want to drive with those blockheads on the highway.
