Introduction:
Before reading this article and definitely before sending an email, read the sources and pledge sections.

I have some serious opinions about people acting stupid.  Here they are.

Check out our Flash Presentations Here

22. Companies that call people at any time on any day asking for business but have a large NO SOLICITING sign on their front office window.

23. People that drive slower than the speed limit for no reason.  At least have a reason like you are on the clock, not wanting to get to where you are going, wanting to tick off the 40 cars lined up behind you...at least have some reason.  GET REAL

24. People that believe they deserve government money because the "invisible hand" has wiped out their job for the season.  Get a real job and pick back up your way of life when it is profitable again.  If it isn't profitable again, stick with your new job. GET REAL

25. People that live on governmental assistance that smoke.  Can't you spend your money wisely?  Well, at least you are going to get off of that assistance sooner than if you didn't smoke.  GET REAL

26. People that are suing fast food for making them fat.  I'm going to sue you because you make me take time out of my day to write this statement. Before you email me, it is the same thing.  I don't have to write this statement, they don't have to eat fast food. GET REAL

Post your item in the classifieds for $10 including color picture, full write-up, posted for as long as your item is for sale. Items under $100 free, vehicles under $1,000 free.

27. People that complain about SPAM but are the first to email everyone on their email list anything that isn't a personal message.  GET REAL

28. Professionals that don't know their own profession.  i.e. any Information Technology person not knowing what an IM is or how to put an icon on the desktop.  The Chief Financial Officer not being able to tell you how their company makes money each day.  Or my favorite, the self-proclaimed Environmentalist that has never lived in or near the "environment" for longer than a business trip.  GET REAL

29. Adult people that complain about the rain but live in a state that has an average of 3 months of sunshine.  GET REAL

30. Adult people that complain about anything that is not controllable,  (weather, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods--frequent or infrequent) yet do not move away from the source of the problem.  GET REAL

31. Adult people that complain about living in the United States, say it is better to live in a foreign country, but continue to live in the United States.  I encounter people like this every where I go.  GET REAL

32. People that can't forget the past when it is prudent and don't remember the past (or know the past) when it is appropriate.  GET REAL

33. People that believe there are less trees on the west coast than there were 30, 50 even a hundred years ago.  There are actually more trees per acre than at anytime in any living person's memory.  GET REAL

34. People that believe that just because there are more trees they should be able to cut down more trees.  GET REAL.

35. People that actually think that laws taking guns away from people will actually work.  GET REAL

36. People that don't think reasonable gun laws should be implemented and enforced.  GET REAL

37. To the government and lawmakers in Oregon that refused to listen to the public's vote when they passed the assisted suicide law, who do you think you represent anyway?  GET REAL

38. To the people that are standing by and letting their vote be ignored.  GET REAL

39. Whether you think assisted suicide is right or not is one thing, not following a vote of the people is another.

40. To the agencies that are letting foreign countries net Salmon off of our shores and then cry Salmon shortage, hurting the U.S. fishing industry.  GET REAL

41. To the people of Whittier Alaska complaining about the toll to drive through the new tunnel.  You live in the middle of no where and can use the tunnel only if you want to.  You can stick to the old methods of travel if you don't like paying the toll and GET OVER IT.  GET REAL

42. To the people that are not from Whittier Alaska that think that the Whittier people should pay full price or even half price to use the tunnel. GET REAL

Don't worry, I'll think of more.

I may be stupid but so are you.  Stupidity is not in the eye of the beholder. Stupidity is believing that you are not stupid like the rest of us.  And yes, I am doing something about it.  I am posting my opinions for public comment which evokes public thought.  Things may get worse through this "public thought process" but at least they are changing.

My Pledge

As you may notice in the many articles to come, I absolutely can not stand people that have an opinion about something they know very little about or didn't take the time to research before giving their opinion.  I pledge that I will not write a single article about a subject that I don't know enough about to see several sides of the issue.  If you think I am missing something, I'd love to be the first to know about it.
