The Same People

 Reading the NYT is a daily ritual. An article caught Kadizzle's eye this morning about the water shortage in Rio Verde. Mrs. Kadizzle was in a rental property there recently. Developers built a lot of expensive homes there with no water source. 

This brings us quickly to the Hoopleheads. You cannot have a government with no source of income. The Hooples have no concept of cause and effect. You cannot give every home a swimming pool, then think you will always have enough water.  It's my right to have a gun and wastewater. That is the Hoople mentality. Hooples believe God has given them the right to waste gas, water, or whatever makes them happy. If we did not waste so much water perhaps everyone would have enough, but Hooples don't think like that. If we did not waste food no one would be hungry, if we quit selling kids tobacco health care cost would go down.

Maybe Kadizzle needs a lesson in cause and effect. There seems to be a relationship between opening the door on the refrigerator, and the numbers on the scale in the bathroom. 

Back to the Hooples and the government. The Hoopleheads think highways grow just like the grass does. No need to tax rich people and pay for highways. Taxing rich people is an invasion of their privacy. The Hooples who hate government don't seem to have any idea of what government does. Hooples think he only role of government is to bother people. One major thing the Hooples cannot comprehend is how much technology government has brought us. Sure a lot of it was spun off from the military, but some of the most important advancements came from NASA.  

Private enterprise would like the Hooples to thing all the good things came from some rich guy. Not so. Many of the rich guys realized they could steal ideas from colleges, NASA, the military and so on. 

It always comes back to the same thing. The Hooples are so ill informed. They only look at what supports their views. The best example is the Bible.  Instead of keeping up with reality the Hooples stick to a book a couple thousand years old. Argue with a Hoople and when you get the Hoople cornered he will revert to the Bible. 

One of the most powerful things a person can do is say " I don't know".  One of the dumbest things a person can do is just make up any silly answer to something they don't know.  Hooples specialize in making things up. Trump is their favorite story teller. Then of course you have the rest of the gang with the latest entry Santos. 

When you are desperate for a flyswatter you will grab anything. Republicans are desperate for votes, and boy did they grab anything.
