Put a frame around it and the federal government will pay a million dollars.Careful when you’re at PA this is an example of what people do when they are there. Really?

So true.A man who wrote a study on functional stupidity said:
“Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed – in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical – and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.”

I like that one.My dad used to say:
When someone dies, they don't know that they are dead. It's just hard on everyone else around them.
Its the same when you are stupid.
Yet I try to understand flat earthers (and other conspirists)....I guess maybe I'm the stupid one.A man who wrote a study on functional stupidity said:

I think once you catch the government/media/schools lying to you, it's only fair to question things. And that's probably where I should leave that aloneYet I try to understand flat earthers (and other conspirists)....I guess maybe I'm the stupid one.
I know, right? It wasn't so long ago that we were making similar observations regarding tall cans vrs the regular ones......... How time flies.Really? Is my life so boring I'm posting about pop rivet back-up washers???
That has been the "Gold Standard" at about every place ever that I have seen spray cans for sale,as well as almost every paint locker I experienced in a too-long Military career...Careful when you’re at PA this is an example of what people do when they are there. Really?
