In general, i think many, if not most humans either are, or just act stupid. Even smart people often do dumb things. So Bush does not hold exclusivity on that.
All this bickering proves is that the humans are bound to doom themselves, from either stupidity, racism, wars, or lack of environmental dangers (not all of which are caused by humans, and NO the U.S. is not the worst offender of every environmental problem, China produces the most polution, Russia has the worst nuclear care record and environmental effects. The U.S. probably leads in AirWave polution though.) No one nation is neccessarily right in how to resolve power and polution concerns, until something better, cheaper, and more effecient comes along. SB2, i agree, Affirmative Action and all such racist and sexist measures, are in fact, just as racist and sexist as the problems they were designed to solve. Funny, how a moronic politician, probably thought of that "Brilliant" idea...NOT!! ! I like the words of Gallagher "you know why the hubble is not pointed at Earth, its searching for 'Intelligent Life'!"
I just wonder why politicians try to solve problems with the most mindbeffudling lamebrain ideas on the planet. Aren't most of these guys, SUPPOSED to be like Educated?? I wonder how many, like cheated to get their degrees or out right bought them. I heard a joke on the radio a short while ago, that mentioned the large number of corrupt, convicts, under investigation, employees this place on the East coast has. It was startling high numbers, something like 60 or 70% had minor offences or bribery or some such event in there past, over all a frightenlingly high number, would be unemployabe by any half way decent responsible business, yet this is our Congress, and it dont split along party lines either
