Smarten Up People!
Howard Stern has a couple of guys who walk the street and ask questions of the public. Usually, it's great radio, and worth a few laughs. Sometimes it's downright disturbing.
Today they were talking about the oil spill. They asked which body of water was affected.
Do you believe that most people didn't know? One guy mentioned the Indian Ocean.
Are you serious? How can there be a healthy debate about anything in this country? Shouldn't there be a qualification test that we all have to pass just to have the ability to walk around upright?
And there comes a time when I'm left talking to some of these people and debating the issues.
Now, I'm no freaking genius. In fact, I'm downright ignorant when it comes to a lot of things. There is more that I don't know then what I do know, but for God's sake!
"What country borders the US to the South?" Letterman once asked.
No one could come up with it so he added a hint.
---i-c-o. was the hint.
Do you know that there was more than one person who wrote TEXICO.
The country that borders us on the south is Texico? Really? That isn't even how it's spelled. Are they called Texicans?
I'm not saying that everyone needs to be a Rhodes Scholar. Some of the most intelligent, thoughtful people in the world live in grass huts in a country you've never even heard of, but walking around here in America, with an opportunity to change policy, vote, and live free isn't there a responsibility to learn a little bit?
Ah well, whatever, right?
I just think that you'd learn a little just by rolling out of bed in the morning.
"Who's the Vice-President of the United States?" The Howard team asked one middle-aged woman.
"Dan Quayle," she answered.
Dan Freaking Quayle isn't even dumb enough to answer Dan Quayle.
Human wheels spin 'round and 'round. Help the light to my face.
