Gary, how do you deal with stupid people in government? Our town is building a Pickleball court across the street from our house. For those of you who don’t know, Pickleball is super loud. Anyway, the city, both the planners and the city council, are determined to build this Pickleball court. We’ve tried all the logical Arguments, like noise, congestion, traffic, lower property values. But nothing seems to work because they are stupid people. What would you do? Is there a spiritual argument I could make for not building this noisy, concrete monster next to my house? The hearing is today at 6:30 PM, and each of us only gets three minutes to talk. Anyway, your article is running through my mind, because when stupid people take over your local government, they do stupid things. And we are David against Goliath right now.
I don't understand the Karl Marx interviews - sounds like nobody know who he is! This is good news right? The culutural marxists might be trying to take over but seems like they've been pretty unsuccessful so far!
Thanks Gary, another great post and good timing. "Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved — indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. " .... "Without a knowledge and reverence for God, people don’t have wisdom and understanding to make right judgments."

It should be noted, we are not against Pickleball, we are just against having them build it next to our house.
Is there a spiritual argument to not build pickle ball courts next to your house!? 😂😂😂

Great cartoon and articles. "It takes a village to raise a child" this was written before the village was filled with idiots. (College/Professors)
Tremendous! Every American should read this article and also the Biography of Bonhoeffer. Thanks Gary for sharing this article on Stupid.
Absolutely amazing examination of "stupid," Mr. V. Love it! But, for those who qualify as "stupid," they'll never admit their shortcomings.
