I am not in favor of censorship, per se....

... but if you're this fucking stupid, you ought not to have a job where you can speak to millions of people at a time.

Censorship, schmensorship...how about euthanasia?

You do realize that the dinosaurs were staged, right? To test our faith donchanknow.

Nice...Just when you think somebody can't say something SO stupid...

I'm a big fan of the weighted ballot - the more informed & clueful the citizen, the more their vote counts.

(This concept has resurfaced due to invoking Lou Tafler's Fair New World in a Metaquotes discussion of this same clip; highly recommended if you can find a copy.)

Wowzers! That's some fine thinking there. It'd be so easy to blame the ejumakation system, but with these new fangled intertube thingies, information on any topic is easy to find the answers to. Simply put: a lot of people (on all sides of political spectrums) simply can not be bothered to inform themselves about the simplest underpinnings of reality. I would love to be able to point a finger at a single cause -- some behind the curtain malevolence of tin-hat-wearing proportions -- but it really seems to me that a lot of the hairless apes of this world are actually doing their best to not know or learn in some sort of unconciouss lemming run.

How about they weigh each vote based on IQ? You have an IQ of 130, you get 1.3 of a vote.
