Leaders that are NOT smarter than a C Student

Here’s a list of the average IQ for persons in each state vs. the state results for the 2004 presidential election.

Also here’s the by county results for the election… Looks like we have A LOT of uneducated people in this country. Actually that’s an unfair assesment. I have been hearing that the reasons that rose to the top for selecting this term’s president were the Moral issues more than anything else. A fairer assesment is that we are still, a large majority a country of haters and christian faith…

“Unless we get medically lucky, in three or four years,
one of the options discussed will be the extermination of homosexuals.”
Dr. Paul Cameron, a “scientist” often quoted by religious right groups
speaking at the 1985 Conservative Political Action Conference

Who really cares?

So I’m truly disturbed at how blind and utterly idiotic some people are in the way they turn a blind eye or a deaf ear to the truth. Or is it people still make decisions in this world based on Faith, a roll of the dice, the popularity contest, a gut feeling or just plane simply… on what others tell them. As Americans we are so quick to judge someone based on what they do in their personal lives and we fail to pass equal judgment on those that lie, betray, and beseech our support for “truths” and in turn put our entire country into further jeopardy. It’s all about who you like despite the pitfalls of what’s behind them right… I’m talking about our current gov. administration. The same clan of people who have totally disregarded our own set of values, freedoms, and safety for their own personal gains.

We have an administration that has allowed attacks on our own soil to occur, ignoring warnings, and used them to further their own agendas for controlling freedoms, “tightening security” and increasing spending on governmental sponsored programs (and companies) to further their own interest (as well as their friends).

A government that is destroying the environment, by refusing environmental impact standards so big businesses can save money.

A government that has taken our country to war based on falsified and unchecked information from sources that we instilled in the country – the same sources that were selling American secrets to other countries. Where’s the WMDs? And now that we know the war is for Oil, Why the Fuck am I still paying 2.60 for gas!!! Who did the war benefit exactly?

And now we have an election year where half of the people (half those polled) seem to still want this type of repressive, lying, greedy, disrespectful, and fat cat government.

I heard the other day a republican say… “Ya know I really don’t like Bush, I don’t like what he’s done with the country. But I’m not voting for Kerry.” Why I ask. “Well at least with Bush I know what bad I can expect.”

WHAT THE FUCK kinda reasoning is that! Oh well Bush has put America in the largest deficit ever, alienated all but 2 allies, took over 2 countries – which he still has failed to help build back up as promised, our economy heading into the shit, job loss is at record highs, and our environment is down the drains… Hmmm Well I don’t see how ANYONE can fuck it up worse than Bush already has and I would hate to see how much worse 4 more years does to this country…

Last I hate to hear this whole thing about “Swing States”. It’s like the media projects on to the country that only these states will decide the election because it’s virtually already decided whom all the other states will vote for… Hmmm Great way to instill the virtues of voting for our younger generation.. “You have to get out and VOTE!!! .. but only if you live in the swing states because it doesn’t matter in the others…

I’d be shocked to see an increase in younger voter turn out after this Republican spin job…If you’re 18-24 I suggest you vote Kerry unless you WANT the draft to be reinstated and want to ride in badly armored vehicles in Iraq, you WANT further lying to the American people, you WANT more hidden government… Good luck guys….

Do you really care about the life you have and the life your children will be left with? Then Just Vote – No matter where you are…

Engrish!

So some random thoughts today while reading some website and the comments made. A poster claimed that “Irregardless of the validity of the data…” and I thought…

Irregardless isn’t really a word. I guess it’s gained popularity but if you think about it… it’s an improper yoking of the words irrespective and regardless. It is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel – [ (de-)bone which both mean to separate from the bone and (un-)ravel mean to spearate or undo ]. Flammable and inflammable both mean the same thing, too.

To go further with our Engrish… an interesting thing is that cleave means both to split apart and to adhere together.

Words are so meaningless. Especially sentences.

Here’s how some people butcher the English language:
