People are dumb.
I know I'm not really shocking anyone by this statement, but I feel that I must reiterate this idea.
As I've said before, I don't really care what political views people have, I believe that everyone has the right to believe in what they will, but sometimes, stupid people, shouldn't be allowed to think at all.
Case in point. I was driving down the road Friday morning and I was astounded by the sheer stupidity of a political bumper sticker that I saw. The bumper sticker said, "How many Lives for Oil?"
Now normally I might debate that if the current war (can we really call it a war, I mean major military operations ended back in May right? LOL) in Iraq was truely about oil, and with the billions the US has spent on the war, don't you think that there were more cost effective ways to get a bit of oil?
But I digress, this article isn't about whether or not the war in Iraq is about the US gobbling up oil, it's about the fact that I saw this bumper sticker on a Lincoln Navigator, a vehicle with just about the worst fuel effiencies of any car on the market today with a whopping 13mpg.
I mean come on, if your really worried about the soldiers over in Iraq giving their lives for a certain petroleum, doesnt it make sense that you would try to help out, and try to conserve said petroleum product?
Oh the irony.
