Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

scores

My mom was reading Parade magazine and mentioned to me that "This Britany Spears' son, Shawn, had bruises on his head and so CPS were called." Now, my stance is that if your applicable IQ looks like a good golf score, you should not be in charge of anyone else. Conversely, if your applicable IQ looks like a great bowling score, then you could be in charge of other people.

I use the term applicable, because there is a big difference between intelligence and applied intelligence. If you mix in common sense, you have at least three intelligences there. Letting your child run along a very busy highway, in one case I-465 around Indinapolis where goes travel 80 mph on average, is a sign you should not be in charge of others. This person's laziness and stupidity doesn't measure with IQ testing. Some of the more famous starlets and entertainers are like really pretty play-doh. They aren't thinkers, like you and I think, and are quickly molded into whatever the viewers want.

Let's examine Tom Cruise ... arrogant, pushy, bizarre, and stupid. I will stand by "stupid" because if you buy into, literally, Scientology, then you are a sucker. Now, religion (snicker) aside, if you have to buy into a religion, that's an investment. I would submit, investment scheme, for it protects itself like the Marcos family ... 10,000 shoes, pampered, despots, yet well funded and self-serving. I doubt that 50% of the scientologists ever read the book, which is much shorter than the Dianetics novel of old. I think of them as Yuppie Moonies or bankroll neo-quasi-buddhists. They are so far from right (in this case meaning "correct"), they revolve once and return to the same spot.

Let's examine those who follow Cruise's example, you get a child-like bride, then when she starts looking adult, you dump her and get a new bride. Huh. I wonder if Trump is a Scientologist too. This new bride "buys into" the schtick and another buys the rust.

To return to my point on scores, I know after taking some stupid IQ tests that I range from 100 - 140. I'll write that I am probably at 100 IQ, for what that's worth. I might even be lower than 100, I just don't know. While I know that there are certainly people smarter than me, and people should be getter smarter ... society produces a bumper crop of plain old stupid. Darwin awards aren't just for hicks anymore.

Hey, my blog rips on Tom Cruise today, too. Although, not much of a coincidence when you factor in how many people hate him.
