Re: How can we be so dumb?
With our intelligence quotients expanding ever higher, thanks to an educational system par excellence, it is heartening to see our young geniuses thinking of innovative new ways to express their political views with startling finality. I am pretty sure that the plural of penis is penises and not penis’. Evidently the educational curriculum was different back in the 60s and 70s when I was going to school. Grammar had rules back then, and apostrophes were used for possessive and contractions, not plurals. Sadly, today's young geniuses probably have no idea what I just said. That might explain the brilliance of our young generation, who may not be reproducing as prodigiously as prior generations, should they " protest too much". Maybe that's what Darwin had in mind with his "survival of the fittest" observation. That was "fake news", wasn't it? Hard to tell when you can't believe anything any more.

Quote:
The US military has become the biggest polluter domestically and internationally, a new report says, warning that hundreds of American military bases across the world are “gravely contaminated.” The US Defense Department alone produces more hazardous waste than the five largest US chemical companies combined, creating a toxic trail over the world comprised of depleted uranium, oil, jet fuel, pesticides, defoliants like Agent Orange and lead, MintPress News reported Monday. “Almost every military site in this country is seriously contaminated,” retired Michigan congressman and war veteran John D. Dingell told Newsweek in 2014, the same year the Pentagon admitted that it had to deal with 39,000 contaminated areas spread across 19 million acres just in the US. Iraq is a more recent example. A research in 2010 revealed that the 2003 US invasion of Iraq and the following occupation of the country led to severe desertification of 90 percent of the land, turning the Arab country from a food exporter into a country that imports 80 percent of the food its people need. Holding the record for most nuclear weapons tests—more than all other nations combined— the US military is also responsible for the huge amount of radiation that continues to contaminate a large number of islands in the Pacific Ocean. Last November, the US Navy announced that it was planning to release some 20,000 tons of heavy metals and explosives, among other pollutants, into the coastal waters of the US Pacific Northwest through 2017. -- source

Note that "heavy metals" is a way to say "radioactive waste" without triggering anyone's ethical outrage. The U.S. military is out of control in more ways than one. Truth be told, it's not technically "out of control". It's very tightly controlled, by sociopaths.

Re: How can we be so dumb?
I read an interesting article on hemp that made me think. Don't you hate it when that happens? Biodegradable plastics made from hemp? An idea whose time has come! What are we waiting for? I have written about the wonders of hemp before here. I have also written about the sea bird deaths caused by plastic, as well as the ocean gyres where plastic waste accumulates in massive quantities. So when I got to thinking about biodegradable plastic made from hemp, I began to realize how we can be so dumb. It's not what you are probably thinking, either. In 1978, I was one lab away from graduating with a B.A. in organic chemistry. If I remember correctly, that lab course was something crazy, like 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. I was sitting in the lab, wondering how I could stay cooped up like this indoors when the sunny, deep blue Colorado skies were calling me outside. And I realized I couldn't do it. I dropped the lab, threw away my nearly completed major, and continued my personal development as a rebel, independent thinker. But I haven't forgotten all of my organic chemistry. A plastic, like polypropylene, doesn't care what the source of its carbon atoms is. It can be wood, it can be petroleum, or it can be hemp. Regardless of where the carbon atoms come from, the end product, the plastic itself, is the same. Its biodegradable properties are the same as well, because its chemical structure is the same, e.g. it's polypropylene. So plastic, whether it is made from petroleum or hemp, is plastic. Its ability to degrade in the natural environment doesn't change! Any biodegradable plastic that can be made from hemp can also be made from petroleum. So being derived from hemp doesn't make a particular plastic biodegrade any better than the same plastic made from petroleum. But the article claims otherwise, and I will bet 99% of the people who read the article will accept the claim as truth without any hesitation. And that's how we can be so dumb.

Re: How can we be so dumb?
The dumbing-down of America is progressing nicely. Each generation will be more sheep-like than the preceding generation, and easier to herd like... well, sheep. "Sheeple" is not such bad replacement for "people" after all. Especially to the ruling sociopaths.

Re: How can we be so dumb?
I reported here on the Pacific Ocean gyre where plastic garbage is wreaking havoc. Linda Moulton Howe has also reported on this.

Re: How can we be so dumb?
Whales are dying from plastic ingestion as well. Most of the animals that die from plastic ingestion or Fukushima radiation or complications caused by either will never be known. We won't know about the damage our pollution is doing until it's too late. It makes you wonder how we could be so dumb.

Re: How can we be so dumb?
I'll tell you how we can be so dumb — we allow sociopaths to be our leaders. We allow them to convince us to do anything for money, and we allow them to convince us that money always makes the best decisions.

Re: How can we be so dumb?
I am so ashamed of my own species that I think we should become extinct. And soon. Watch this. I have long held that we live in an insane world. It is insane, I believe, because we do not manage our most mentally ill individuals — the sociopaths. Instead, we make them our leaders. As a result, we get the harvest they convince us to sow. Following the lead that sociopaths offer always flirts with self-destruction, even extinction. So I may get my wish because of the very problem I wish to solve. Sociopaths are the root of the problem. If we don't learn to manage them effectively, they will manage us, all of us including them, into extinction. It's coming. Unless we, as a species, take steps to change course, we will go down the drain we are circling.

Re: How can we be so dumb?
Who could ever have guessed? Anyone who understands how sociopaths dominate the top positions of power and control! So yeah, how can we be so dumb to not see it coming? George H. W. Bush gives us George W. Bush, Pierre Trudeau gives us Justin Trudeau, and other sociopath fathers are going to give us other sociopath sons. Wanna bet Chelsea Clinton is a sociopath just like her mother? It's not a bad joke, people. It's sociopathy. It's sociopaths running our world. It's sociopaths being our leaders. It's sociopaths dominating positions of power and control. It's sociopaths fooling and manipulating us into greater and greater degrees of slavery. It's sociopaths, and we need to control them, not vice versa. Sociopaths are always fakes, frauds and liars. It's an integral part of their psychology. Why can't humanity wake up and solve its number one problem of all time? Until it does, humanity is going to be a dead-end species.

Re: How can we be so dumb?
The sociopaths' agenda to dumb us down, the one most dumb people dismiss as "conspiracy theory", is actually working quite well. Well, duh! Did anyone really think the dumbing-down program would fail? The ruling sociopaths are behind this program, and they have a history of getting what they want! And maybe chemtrails, Fukushima radioactive fallout, fluoridated drinking water, GMO foods, glyphosate poisoning, dangerous levels of EMF exposure, educational system sabotage, mainstream media propaganda, brain-dead entertainment, pornography, censorship of the truth, false history, persecution of whistle-blowers, massive deception and manipulation, and drug dependency. This isn't happening by accident, folks. It's a program. We are all being deliberately intellectually anesthetized.
