    rent Idiocracy

    I just rented the movie Idiocracy, thought it was hysterical, until I just saw this transcript.

    The movie's plot wasn't that great but the premise was essentially about how stupid the human race is becoming as a result of smart people have fewer kids. In 500 years we end up laughing at and picking on anyone that sounds the slightest bit intelligent, while no one can tie their shoes.

    Reading this, and then catching the snippets on YouTube, I thought I was watching that movie again (Al Gore = Luke Wilson's character).

    It really bummed me out... a majority in "OK" voted this senator in?

    wow.
