Einstein was a very wise man,

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

Every day, I see people doing and saying things that remind me of some dialogue from the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series,

Adama: (to Boomer) Sit down. I've asked you here to find out why the cylons hate us so much.

Boomer: I'm not sure I know how to answer that. I mean, hate might not be the right word.

Adama: I don't want to fence with you. I just want to know why.

Boomer: It's what you said at the ceremony before the attack when Galactica was being decommissioned. You gave a speech that sounded like it wasn't the one you prepared. You said that humanity was a flawed creation. And that people still kill one another for petty jealousy and greed. You said that humanity never asked itself why it deserved to survive. Maybe you don't.

My point, that the things I see people do, the things they say, the things they believe in and the utter... no kind way to say it, STUPIDITY of their thought processes makes me wonder if humanity isn't accelerating it's own destruction because most of us are TOO STUPID to do otherwise. And it makes me ask, do we deserve to survive? Being so stupid and all...

I am so saddened at times when I read what some folks will take for truth and fact.

I try to be an illuminating soldier in the fight against intellectual darkness.
