Unfortunately, the laughter is bittersweet in the sense that their mental disconnect from reality signals a deficiency in "common" sense and the collective intellect of the American people.:(

As an aside, I think the only reason the people interviewed are still alive today is because as a society, we try to protect those who would otherwise benefit mankind by earning a Darwin Award and removing themselves from the gene pool in the interest of increasing cognitive fitness in humanity.:lol:

Sort of like herd immunity with vaccines... even the stupid people get some protection from bad outcomes.
But your theory assumes that those protestors "would otherwise benefit mankind".
I don't have any confidence that is true.

Forgive my sentence structure, since my post does seem to give the impression that I find those people to somehow be useful, and not just a group of bitter individuals who make life miserable not just for rational beings, but for the very groups they claim to wish to help.:banghead:

What I meant was that it would benefit humanity if idiots weren't protected from earning a Darwin Award, therefore removing the "idiot genes" from the gene pool.:D
In this case, the "idiot genes" would be found in the genetic material of the people interviewed.:)

I got the post ... but they seem to be able to feed themselves; unfortunately, the energy from the food must have burned out their higher brain functions....
