I'm tired of dumb people

I'm tired of dumb people. It seems to me that there are just more and more dumb people front and center every day. I don't need to get into the whole Star Simpson thing again. You all know what she did. If you don't, read this. http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/brainiac/2007/09/boston_cracks_d.html

So, it seems dumb begets dumb. I don't think there's really any other explanation for what she did except that she's dumb. Dumb enough to be getting banged by a guy twice her age. Obviously her hippie parents ( I'm sure they struggled with other names like, Twinkle, or Light or.. oh man the colors...)

But here's where I validate my point. The following are excerpts from the Boston Herald comments on Howie Carrs and Peter Gelzinis' columns. (Please note that as a rule I don't like Gelzenis and his screaming liberalism) . Now do I need to remind anyone that she walked into one of the busiest airport terminals in the nation from which planes were hijacked on 9-11? The idiocy of some is overwhelming. A common thread I see are comments like "Its just a circuit board" and " She didn't have a hoax device, just Play - Do and a circuit board", and the feeling that the cops who had drawn down on her should have somehow known that, and known that. My return question would be , How would they know that? Are they psychic? They were acting in the best interest of all, not to protect the feelings of some nappy headed ho.

It has come to this. The government has to validate its existence by forcefully arresting kids with light-up toys and Play-Doh. What's next, I wonder. Them join Alec Baldwin & Sean Penn and move to some other country where our freedom to even contemplate this question doesn't exist.

I think the people of Boston need to stop being so paranoid... all it's done is kill 27,936 Iraqi's and 3797 US citizens. Why is this pinko putting Iraqi's first?

The Knights that Say Nikh should be called in immediately to save the citizens of Boston from such dangerous threats!!! After all, she had play-dough and ignored an adult who may have been wearing a uniform! I think this one speaks for itself.


Shame on you Peter Gelzinis! Your article would have been much more useful if you had shown what idiots they have at the Logan airport, whether the employee who panicked about this, or the state police who didn't just laugh the whole thing off. Aren't you glad the London Police didn't laugh off the nerve gas scare. Maybe the same ones you want to laugh it off did so on 9-11 and look what we got ass face. The "circuit board" (which your paper apparently decided to bury the picture of, since it is obviously not a bomb but a breadboard with LED's arranged in a "star" pattern -- I love when nerds get technical and expect the rest of us to stay with them. That's why they're nerds. the woman's name was Star), looked less like a bomb than a common laptop computer (which at least has room for explosives), perfectly fit her description as "art", and the reaction of the police (stating that they nearly shot her) shows them to be a group of scared rabbits. At a minimum, they owe her an apology, if not offering up their resignations as well for their incompetence. Dolt


So, where am I wrong here? How can we expect to protect our population if people like these won't let us? Should we go back to our pre 9-11 lassez faire attitude? I think that's impossible, don't you? Should we put our police and Public Safety employees in harms way by mandating that they meander up to a potential threat , and blithely converse with them? I can see it now... Excuse me miss, is that an explosive device you're wearing? Oh it is? Can I have a few seconds to run away?

Of course, should half of the terminal blown up, then what would the response be?
