“Stupidity is far more dangerous than evil,

for evil takes a break from time to time;
stupidity does not.”
Anatole France

Although I’m tempted to agree with this sentiment, given the ever present demonstration of stupidity, I think sometimes the evil is just hidden from blind eyes, and that at some point stupidity itself is an evil that depends on ignoring truth, seeking only to find justification for one’s own stupidity.

Clinging to mythology isn't very smart either...

...which is why I depend on reality as I go through life.

I'm still trying to figure out why so many people ride bicycles on the wrong side of the street.

And I'm still trying to figure out why women wear make-up...

(and also wondering why some men do, too...)
