    And yet, they just keep going. I will never understand these people.

      They are simply not in the same league as Einstein, Oppenheimer and Russel.

        I ain’t sure they’re even in the same league as Ron Popeil.

          Ron Popeil

          “Popeil received the Ig Nobel Prize in Consumer Engineering in 1993.”

          For sure.

            That’s actually pretty interesting. I only knew him for those old RonCo infomercials.

      Because if they don’t, someone else will. Their logic is: If somebody is going to burn down the world, it may as well be me!

        I genuinely think that they (and conservatives overall) don’t understand that everyone is different and that most people aren’t our there trying to get one up on everyone else.

          100%. Either they don’t understand, or they’re in on the con.

            I’m convinced that he just needed a good ass kicking when he was 18. I think that would have gone a long way towards squashing that overinflated ego.

          unfortunately, if you are big enough as a corporation, by definition you are that kind of organization, or you would not be where you are.

          we are ruled by sociopaths who crave power wealth and fame. we are doomed.
