been around the world and found
that only stupid people are breeding
the cretins cloning and feeding

I do not have tolerance for stupidity. I don't. I know I should strive to be a better person and accept that there are people in this world who just aren't as smart (SMRT as Homer Simpson would spell) as I am.
Last night, I stopped at the store on my way home from dinner. There is a lottery ticket machine just inside the door of the store. There is a sign on the lottery machine that clearly states that the lottery machine does not give change.
I waited patiently for my turn and watched this woman feed a $20 bill into the machine. She selected a couple of tickets and then stood there, staring at the machine. She tapped on the screen. Felt the machine up for mysterious invisible buttons. With my patience running thin, I asked her if I could help her. She turned and flashed a gold tooth and said, "It don't give me no money back."
(Sigh) Overlooking the poor language skills, I explained to her that the machine doesn't give change. I even pointed to the sign on the machine. She looked at me. She looked at the sign. "I don't want no $20 worth of lottery tickets!" she said. I looked on the machine and she had $10 balance remaining.
"Look, I'll just give you the $10 and use your credit to buy my tickets," I said. "Is that legal?" she asked. (Or possible aksed..) I assured her it was and gave her two fives. I hadn't intended on buying $10 worth of tickets either, but I also didn't feel like waiting while she tried to figure out a solution.
I don't have children. I haven't really had the urge to procreate. However, every time I run across someone who lacks common sense or the ability to comprehend simple instructions (like how to reboot a computer or use the "save as" function), I wish I had. At least my brainy little offspring could help give the world a fighting chance.
