When did people get so dumb? I don’t just mean in a general way, I mean in the last few weeks I’ve read things that seems that the dumber you are the further you go. A few weeks ago I read about a guy being not only arrested, but sued because while he was in the bathroom waiting for his son to come out of a stall, someone was reaching under the stall to touch his child. The father of the child beat up the man trying to touch his kid. He was then charged with assault and the man trying to touch his kid didn’t get anything. What really pisses me off the most? The defense of the district attorney when asked about this case was that we shouldn’t take the law into our own hands. I guess the district attorney would have rather the child be molested while the father watched and did nothing.
The next case of stupidity I read yesterday, a 12 year old girl was arrested for drawing on her desk. The teacher sent the child to the principal and the principal called the police saying that it was part of zero tolerance. Zero brains is more like it. Not only was the teacher wrong, not only was the principal wrong, but the police were wrong in arresting the 12 year old. Why would they arrest someone when there was not even a crime committed?
The third comes from the Alaskan moron herself, Sarah Palin. She’s pissed off because Family Guy made fun of the fact that she has a child with down syndrome. Family Guy has made fun of black people, Chinese people, retarded people, gay people, Irish people, in fact the list is shorter for the people that they haven’t made fun of yet, but Palin thinks that she and her family should be above the jokes. Why would she think that she would be so special to not be made fun of?
I thought after we got Bush out of office we’d be seeing more intellect from people in charge, but it seems that the people in charge are just as dumb as ever.
