#2 It's like releasing 10,000 confined minks, without any natural environmental development, into the wilds. Run free! (right into natural evolution) Ain't mother nature a bitch?

#7 Millennials Value Tolerance Over Freedom

Actually, the problem is they don't understand what these things mean and how they work, let alone how they work together.

#8 I was actually thinking more of "Idiocracy", Grom, but
I suppose a stock market reference is also appropriate.

#9 You should look up Kornbluth's MarchingMorons - if only because it was written in 1951.

#10 g(r)om, Marching Morons in some ways describes a world that our "elites" seem to want - world where the elites run the planet in secret, while the untermenschen just take up space. Then the "hero" comes along and proposes a solution - to get rid of all or most of the proles.

#11 I wouldn't call it their dream - after all the intelligent are not secret masters, more like secret servants. Plus, to me, the current elites are the morons.

#12 Marching Morons

"the noon rocket to Los Angeles, which is neither a rocket, nor going to Los Angeles." One of my favorites...

#13 Marching Morons

Is it really necessary? A label such as that could be a 'trigger' in Georgia.
