    I admit freely to being an idiot. As for education, I majored in idiocy, so actually it did help me to be a better idiot.

    Someone suggested that the 49% of us who are above average intelligence should all run away to live in some other, more enlightened place. Sadly, there would then need to be a new curve and the 49% of us who fell below the mean would be the “new idiots”. But we would be intelligent idiots, no? MEDIC!

    It is very possible for more than 50% to be below the average in a skewed distribution. The median, not the average, is the 50% point. The average is merely the sum of the IQs divided by the number of people. Or, as Dilbert’s boss would put it, “Half the employees have salaries below the median!” I could go on… I could give examples… But I sense that you all are already pretty disgusted with this post and will soon be threatening some sort of action.

    People should be clear that although i can see where the cartoonist is coming from, there is a lot of untruth in the wording and the truth is the only constant that will set people free.

    Education run by institutions which do not promote self interpretations is for idiots.

    No single life created from Mother Earth is born with any negative vibrations. The earth creates every life form with the utmost perfection to sustain its eco system, just a little unfortunate that many humans have detached them self from the eco system.

    And i dont think religion should be a respected thing anymore, 2000 plus years about arguing about which institution has the right ethical conduct to live life and they have got no where. people should start listening to the earth in the same way they listen to their bodies.

    and lastly through truth shall we learn all.

    ADDADADDA said The recessive gene for idiocy is becoming far too dominate.

    Darwin said the idiots would starve or be eaten by sabre toothed tigers, thereby removing themselves from the gene pool. Government says they will feed and protect idiots, thereby increasing them in the gene pool. The 49% may put off reproducing for education and careers. The idiots reproduce at will. If we weren’t idiots we could do the math.

    OK, bad man gone again. Liver - with diced tomatoes and peppers, onions, garlic, sauteed slowly on low heat - magnificent. No catsup needed, openminded ( and NOT to be put in the garbage, coyoty).

    Isn’t there a line that goes something like, “…keeps doing the same thing the same way and expecting a different outcome…”?

    My dear Raddish, what morons don’t seem to understand anymore is that the idiots are now running the asylum. This is why government spending has now outpaced economic growth. Sad really.

    This comic really seems to prompt some interesting discussions!
