As for a war on stupidity... well, that wouldn't work out too well. 50% of the planet is below average, doncha know. Imagine the devastation to certain industries, like NASCAR and professional wrestling, if the stupid people were killed off...  |
Y'know Rick, you're right on target!
Of the 6+ billion people on Earth only 1% are in the 'genius' range according to IQ. That's 1 out of every 100 who are smart enough to watch us go down the tubes.
I'm gonna do the math and look at the Cold War costs and current budgets. That'll make a great story.
