We're Somewhat Lacking In The Brains Department
January 2nd 2009 03:27
Hey it's been over a month since my last post- God I'm lazy! Anyway, the topic for today is how unintelligent my compatriots (and I) are.
I have a friend who's never heard of Islam, are you serious? Okay, you may not be familiar with its trappings, but to have never heard of the world's second largest religion? And it's not like this person lives under a rock with only limited contact with the rest of the world so how this came to be is beyond me.
And speaking of me, I must admit I'm not doing my generation any favours for you see, I can't spell. No seriously, if the government introduced a tax for using the spell check feature, I'd be paying for the whole cabinet to holiday in Dubai. I really can't spell to save myself.
To make myself feel better after sharing that less than flattering fact, I'm going to tell you about another ignoramus (thank you spell check for correcting my spelling of ‘ignoramus’)- another friend of mine.
This one shuns the news like its last year's fashion. She has no idea about even the most sensational stories that flare up from time to time, let alone complex and chronic stories. I bet you my spell check feature she has no idea Israel is currently dropping bombs on the Gaza Strip. I suspect she's never heard of said geographic location either, seeing as it's only ever mentioned on the news.
I think we’re in need of our own Enlightenment but I get the feeling most of us don't even know what the Enlightenment was the first time 'round, let alone how to recreate it for our own salvation.
I need a drink.
