When I was a kid, there was a television game show which featured people putting on stupid costumes screaming "pick me pick me!" The show was a hit, because people loved seeing how stupid people can behave.
As I was older, I would listen to the Bob Grant show. You had supposed adult people begging Grant to come on the air, to call the Governor a lowlife in Italian. Grant would be calling the listeners "gabones," or morons in Italian.
About 2 years ago on Thanksgiving, these college honor students were arrested for throwing frozen turkeys at drivers from an overpass on the Northern State Parkway. One driver was paralyzed for life.
Recently, there was a huge blizzard in the area. People in mass were abandoning their vehicles in the middle of the street preventing the streets from being plowed and emergency vehicles from reaching victims.
How many people want to injure or kill people? Not many. Usually it is as a result of people acting stupidly like the turkey incident. For decades, there have been drinking and driving laws, yet people continue to drink and drive. The drunk driver who kills someone says "I didn't mean to do it." Is that any consolation to the victim?
Why do people act real stupid on New Years Eve. They should ban that night! People get totally drunk. Normally intelligent women will spread their legs for a total stranger or a homeless bum on the subway. People scream out "Happy New Year!" Their actions during that night frequently condemn them to an unhappy period throughout the new year.
Today I came close to an utter act of total stupidity, which could have had tragic consequences. I smelled smoke in my apartment. I checked with a neighbor, and learned that a car had exploded outside. I went outside to see. These Russian woman were talking about a young woman, who while holding a child, attempted to have the child light up a tower of garbage (left from the blizzard). The firecracker hit a parked car just as the driver, an elderly Israeli woman, was trying to start the Buick LeSabre. The car exploded, and fortunately the Israeli woman was able to get out. Had the firecracker exploded in the pile of garbage, my home and the Yeshiva would have been lit up. The pre school Yeshiva was in session, and there would have been scores of dead 5-12 year old children.
Please take the time to consider what I am saying. Please act with common sense!
These acts of stupidity are mind boggling, and like you said, innocent people are injured or worse. My mother always said "we can't stupidproof society". It makes me wonder how these people go from point A to point B in their everyday lives. Scarier yet, is the fact that these people serve as jurors, they vote, and they reproduce themselves.
