Let Me Dumb That Down For You, Oh Wait... We Might Have Hit Rock Bottom There.

Hmms.  Haihai!  Happy blogger is back to happily blogging.  Had bit of an extensive and completely unplanned Blog Summer Break.  Suppose that’s the collateral damage that can be expected when one is an Undisciplined Lout.  And then all of a sudden a very busy lout.  None of these two things have changed, but well, felt like writing.  Am also Impulsive Lout, so here we are.

Today will talk about How the West Was Dumbed and Where It Got Us.  Quite sure have brushed over this topic once or twice.  Or thrice.  Or whatnot.  But it never ceases to amaze me how stupid we are.  Or how we are being perceived as stupid.  While I’ll gladly agree that there a lot of people who forget to put on their Functional Brain Hat when they get up, am quite sure it can’t be all that bad.  Ok.  Probably can be all that bad.  Humour me. 

There must be truth in the statement that Knowledge is Power because it often seems to me that all is done to nip that power in the butt.  Well.  Guess a duh would fit in here.  Du-uh.  Duh.  Of _course_  knowledge is power.  Again.  Humour me.  Hmm.  It _is_ a bit nippy in here.  There.  Am all happy because managed to insert a “it is a bit nippy in here in blog” Yay me.  In fact it actually is a bit nippy in here.  More than a bit.  Am half freezing to death here.  Guess am not one for the Wall.  Then again.  Wrong sex etc. etc.  Since knowledge is power and researching things half the fun of that power, will happily give Google (one has to start _somewhere_ ) the honour of starting the Journey to Enlightenment for those among you who haven’t got the faintest clue of what am rambling about.  Neepee.  Wieee.   Sounds like nippy.

Ok. Serious face now.  Frown.  Peer.  Serious face is serious.  Right.  Not sure when it happened, but at one point in a not so distant past, some must have come up with the Brilliant Plan to treat customers as if they paid whatever it is they just bought with cash and few braincells on the side.  Or maybe someone just wanted to have a laugh.  Quite sure that person is continually snickering in a corner at all the silliness that came forth from his innocent proposition.

Enter Silly Warnings Galore.  It is known our daily life is filled with all sorts of dangers.  Dangers we may be completely unaware of.  And therefore we Must Be Warned.    Or maybe we’re feeling a bit creative.  Which can be dangerous.  To ourselves, our fellow earthlings or the profit of companies and insurance companies.  So. Warnings.  Of course am not that naïve as to believe that these warnings have anything to do with our wellbeing or that of our fellow earthlings.  They have everything to do with the profit part.  Cover your ass lest you be sued by some idiot who decided that the microwave is an excellent pet drying device.

So.  Where did that land us?  Right in Stupidville.  Yay us!  Somehow all those warnings seem to have eaten away Common Sense.  People will go “but… it didn’t say I couldn’t with ” Well.  One consolation.  It _will_  say so in the future.

Is this the price we pay for what we ourselves think of as the epitome of civilization?  An entire generation without any grain of responsibility is being bred.  Pessimism!  Doomthinking!  Nooooooes! Bright side is that we have little to nothing to fear should there ever be a Zombie Invasion.  No brains to be had here.  Just move along.  Baibai zombie threat!  Ha.  Hmm.  Would it be that that is the reason behind it all?  Some Benevolent Act to protect us all from a zombie invasion?  No one has told us of course.  We’d only be panicking at the prospect of Massive Hordes of Zombies.  We don’t want frantic mobs.  Nu-uh. 

Must be a cunning way to divide the flock.  Because it goes without saying that we’d have to toss the zombies a bone some  brains . And who would be a better bone than those among us who continue to orally inflate their balloons whenever they’re having a party?  Who I ask?  Hmmm.  Ponder.

Kinda wanted to add something witty about poison dart frogs and spears and such.  But maybe some other time. 

Ribbit!
