Everday people who fail to utilise their brains...
Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.
--- William James (1842 - 1910)
...Oh where to start:
People seemingly switch off when in public and gain narrow vision forgetting there's a word going on around them. These are the people who fail to be polite, let doors swing shut, push in front of you in a queue, block up the 10 items or less check-out's in supermarkets, say brainless things, who’s kids are vandals and those who cannot fathom out the simplest of things etc. (* This does NOT obviously apply to the handicapped or mentally ill.)
Their brains are intact, as much as they were before the accident anyway.
--- Claire Lewicki, Days of Thunder
Politics is a real bugbear of mine, yes yet another but hey tis what blogging's all about! No one is expected to KNOW ALL about politics (except our leaders obviously then it's debatable,) but to simply not vote or vote blindly for those who your parents did is dull and affects us all. and yet again is stupid as the word moves on and thus situations change no singular party can be adhered to for ever that's insane.

Then there are females, of which I am generally ashamed to be one: when (most) women want/need/are desperate for a man and scared he'll leave them what do they do, magically get pregnant! Clever eh, she'll get stuck with a kid and thus ruin her life to a degree and the man vanishes into thin air is that intelligent? Never have I known a man who’s girlfriend got pregnant (magically even when using contraception - spooky eh,) and by this I refer to the "pill and mainly because she's not taken it or quite likely was never on it,) stick with her full of the joys of spring and filled with optimism for the future. There's not a jot of thought for the child and the relative effects, no thought either for her financial future - just a manic need to keep/get her man...I'll deal more with my annoyances with my own kind later in my blog:
Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.

Be dumb in your own homes of course that is your prerogative, but dumb at the expense of others is well - lazy headed.
