Idiots are in abundance here

[SeaCat]

Okay as I have mentioned before we are in severe drought here in southern Florida. Watering restrictions are in effect and people are getting fined. We had a person arrested today for throwing a ciggie butt out his car window.

So earlier this evening I was sitting here smoking a cigar and sipping some ice cold Tequila when off in the distance I can hear firecrackers going off. From the sound of it they were shooting off quite the mix.

Within a couple of minutes I could hear the sirens start up. I could plainly hear three or more different sirens as the Police moved in. These idiots were shut down. I could hear the fireworks stop suddenly along with the sirens.

What in the world were these idiots thinking?

They weren't thinking. Their type don't think.

We've had four small grassfires in the past week from idiots and cigarette butts.

Thinking? Not allowed.

Thinking would upset the Gravy Train's Ride To The Sea.

I mean, really, where would our economy be if people actually thought about what they were doing? Firecracker sales would go into the cellar, fer Chrissakes!

Ummm....Paying more attention to the "cracker" part and not the "fire" part.

red necks R us....

Don't you know? The rules of society don't apply to them! They'll have to learn that lesson from a judge, no mere mortal can teach them.

Drought is bad .. fire worse.. I fought a fire once that was started by the someone when the forest was closed to all visitors. They charged the owner the cost of suppression.. I think he is still paying the $2 million plus and that was 20 years ago

Once upon a time I was a volunteer FireFighter up north. I fought house fires and brush fires. Let me tell you, Brush Fires are much spookier. (Housefires are kind of fun really.)

While I smoke, (yes I do smoke, I smoke Cigars. Garcia Vega Minatures if you must know.) I do not flick my butts. I keep them in the ashtray until I get home then they are dumped into a metal coffee can.

Hey I've even foregone my usual enjoyment of explosives and Pyrotechnics. The stumps I mentioned out front of the place are not being removed with explosives. (Much to my disgust.) Instead I have created a Tripod of 2x4's that I can attach my comealong to. I'll dig and pull them out. (I'm about half way through the lot of them.)

Apparently "Let's shoot off some firecrackers."

99% of all idiocy is to think a perfectly right thing at the perfectly wrong time.

Hehehe yeah. *sigh*

Idiots are abundant everywhere. I get a headache from all the stupid shit I see every day; it seriously makes me despair sometimes. Its hardly exclusive to any group or area.

Given that an IQ of 100 means there are just as many people below the line as above it, it is a sobering thought to consider as we hang out with authors and scientists and movers and shakers that there's an equal number of complete and utter fuckweasels who are correspondingly stupid. And we let these people vote and reproduce, too! Sheesh!

Oops! I mean the noise they'd make and no personal slur. My apologies, Cat! A from a sorry good little witch.

Don't know if its still true, but at one time anyway, to work as a substitute teacher in Florida, you had to have completed the eleventh grade.

No college, no teaching license, no high school diploma even.

You reap what you sow.

They were thinking, "Got matches. Got firecrackers. Got beer. Good times!" A dead whale and some dynamite would have been better, but one makes the best of what's available.

Be grateful they weren't celebrating by firing their guns into the air. Every July 4th and New Year's Eve, Miamians expect at least one news item about an injury that happened because a bullet fell victim to gravity. That's right, my explosion-loving friends! Bullets, like Skylab, eventually return to earth. If this happens in a crowded metropolitan area, your bullet's fall may be cushioned by your neighbor's kid's scalp.

Party on.

Idiots are annoying. Idiots in cars are lethal.

The other day, one of them almost killed me and mum as we were on our way home from town. Normally when you want to pass the car in front of you, you wait until there's no oncoming traffic.

This moron felt that it wasn't his repsonsability to watch out for oncoming traffic - it was the oncoming traffic's responsability to move the hell out of the way whenever he was driving!

Luckily, I have quick reflexes and steered aside in time - and back on the road before we ended up in a ditch. Mum was pretty shocked and cried, and I did feel a little shaky myself.

Explain to me - who dresses these creatures in the morning???
