The magic 27%

27% seems to be a magic number.  In almost every energy conversion it comes up.  A power plant or a car usually converts about 27% of the available energy into motion. The rest is lost as heat or friction.  Strange that this number seems to apply to people.  27% of people are hopelessly simple minded.  What does this mean. It means Fox News automatically get's 27% of it's viewers.  It means Rush Limbaugh automatically gets an audience of people who will buy any lie.

Yesterday Kadizzle was suffering from boredom, so he went to the main check in point for the campground at Cherry Creek State Park where we are staying.  As he waited to ask the volunteer at the desk for some magazines to read a man and what seemed like his son came in the door.  The man was seeking a place to camp for the night with his RV.  The volunteer explained to the man there were no spots available.  The hopeful camper became irate and begged for a spot.  The poor volunteer told him he could not randomly park in the grass or anywhere else the campground was full.  This would have been a good point to end, but the man started to rant at the poor volunteer and told him the campground was full because Obama was letting so many immigrants into the country.  If immigrants were in the campground from Syria as the man complained, Kadizzle did not notice them.  Most of the people in the campground were in nice RV's. Strange immigrants would get to the country and be given a nice RV, but we all must remember Obama is to blame for everything.

As the man went out the door the incensed man said " Trump will fix this when he is president".  Kadizzle could not resist as he followed the man out the door.  Kadizzle said to the man " Why not Bernie Sanders?".  The man said " He is a communist".  Kadizzle corrected him by saying " No, he is a socialist".  " They are the same thing said the dolt".  "No" said Kadizzle, " There is a difference".  Kadizzle went on to tell the man most of the socialist countries in Europe had better health care, lived longer, had a better education system, and a lower poverty rate. To Kadizzle's surprise the dolt agree, but said " That will all soon come to an end." In an attempt to show the dolt how widespread socialism actually is Kadizzle explained to the dolt that North Dakota has a socialist power company, a socialist phone company, and even socialist gas stations.  The dolt responded " Well then North Dakota is a communist state".  Kadizzle said " No, no, no our state is a stronghold for Trump supporters.  At this point we parted company.  The mind of a Trump supporter is special.
