Emotionally, I agree. I hate the level of intellectual incompetence that
seems to run rampant in society at this time. 'Course I've been irritated
by that for a large portion of my 50 years so nothing new there. And my
parents report much the same over much of their lives. I cann't chase it
back further within the family since they have all departed.
Intellectually then, I guess I have to assert that not much has changed
over at least the past half century and probably longer. Time to relax,
watch a pretty sunset, enjoy a beer, and then get back to work trying to
improve our portion of the damned human race.
