The right to be stupid

We live in a wonderful country where we have the right to be stupid guaranteed by the constitution. You can be as dumb as you want. Although there is free public education, you can be home schooled or got to a religious school and be filled with the most simple minded idiocy imaginable. It is your right. You can work in a hospital and infect everyone in there, it is your right. You can invade the Capitol and claim it was just a tourist trip. What other country allows you to go broke giving money to a church or TV preacher? Now if you really want to exercise your right to be stupid vote. Vote for a Republican that will shovel money to the rich while they rape the poor. Vote for a Republican who will not fund the IRS so the IRS can collect the 500 billion the rich tax cheats will not pay. If you do not exercise you right to be stupid you could lose it. Then what? Without the right to be stupid we might have good health care like so many other countries, we might have gun laws like Canada, we might have income equality. Who wants all that socialist stuff? Far better to live in a run down trailer and carry a gun. Far better to live under a bridge with your dog and your friends while Bezos goes on a ten minute space ride. Use it or lose it.
