After getting on one of the internet's many short buses today, I contemplate a few simple truths.

Mathematically speaking, half of people (minus one) are of below average intelligence. Knowing such is also true with other human attributes, it should be no surprise that mediocrity is the norm.

However, with this so, why must we pander to the lower half of the curve? Instilling unwarranted self-esteem has trumped correctness, in thought and action. Self-esteem should flow from healthy behavior, not be a delusional byproduct of brainwashing and pharmacology.

People are getting too fat? Well, shit, big is beautiful now! Celebrate it! Why not? Diabetes, heart disease, and stroke are beautiful too, I suppose. Your children are dysfunctional lunatics, bordering on psychopaths? Post a video on Youtube and bask in all those wonderful hits. (Only after disabling comments, of course.) Just dont forget to get those prescriptions filled, otherwise you might start to feel like a failure as a parent, if not a human being.

Society cant afford to educate anyone? Hell, thats an easy one, just make ignorance a virtue. Makes elections more entertaining, anyway.

Your average human animal would rather fling feces than clean up its cage. That said, this here is my lump.
