How dumb do we need to be?

So over the last while I am watching this series on TV about McDonalds. There is a wave of people who are holding them accountable for the number of over weight kids in North America. They want McDonald to publish the numbers for fat and such in more obvious places. So by this very idea, they are giving McDonalds full responsibility for their kids being fat. This is like saying guns kill people. People kill people. No gun ever jumped off a shelf and killed someone, nor did any Big Mac wrestle a child to the ground and force feed itself to them. When did fast food ever represent itself as the health option. It is fast food, and generally fried people. Hold the bus here batman, how dumb are these people?

So we have the same with the tobacco industry. People say they have cancer and never knew smoking caused cancer! Guess when you can’t read then it is understandable, but last I heard the people in North America could still read! So okay.

The story that has my goat here is the defense of Warren Jeffs. So for those of you who don’t know he is the polygamist leader on trial. An article I saw today (CNN. So this girl who was married at 14 and was never happy and essentially forced into this is now being told since she did not cry rape, then how can she come forward now and get pissed? Wow do we really live in such a society of utterly stupid heartless people who can justify letting this man walk by saying if you didn’t say it then, then perhaps you weren’t raped? If you read the article you will see the listed behavior she demonstrated at the time. Am pretty damn sure someone who was thrilled to be there would not hide in a bathroom after the wedding and be fed their lines during the wedding. She does not sound like one of the biddies who after a night of passion changes her mind and cries foul. This is a girl who was 14 and was consented by her family and Warren Jeffs into this.

Okay am getting off now, but you know there is a place in the universe for these people!
