Good! I'm glad he won the suit. Unfortunately, we, the taxpayers, will have to pay this money though we should make the offending official do without his pay and perks until he pays the 4.1 mil back to us. I thought stuff like that happened only in 3rd world countries ....... oh, wait ......

We are entering an age of profound stupidity and incompetence .And hey don't go blaming the immigrants for everything .
On TV this morning there was clip on a traffic sign placed in a school zone in California .

The sign was of the usual shape and color for such a sign , black lettering on a yellow background , the usual colors for cautionary traffic signs .

The sign read :

PLEASE

SLOW

DRIVELY

Now you have to think about this . How many truly stupid people did it take to accomplish this feat ? Think now .

You have the i***t in the factory who made up the sign .Then you have an unknown number of i***ts in the factory who must have seen it and done or said nothing [ lol...or just didn't know better ].

You have the guy that delivered the sign to the city ...ok , ok , maybe he can't read English , especially a traffic sign that LOL...he should know , with driving all day and all .
So where are we in the count ? I'll be kind and say oh about 3 definitely and about a half dozen most likely.
Now to the person working for the city who accepted delivery of the sign . [ optional-how many other city employees who at least saw it while in t***sition from delivery to actual installation ].

This number is growing ! [ exponentially ?] Now we're in the home stretch . The driver and at least one assistant tasked with taking the sign out to it's designated site digging the hole , setting the cement ,and finally placing the sign .....then just driving away ..leaving drivers and the rest of the world chagrined and scratching their heads , not to mention creating a distraction to any driver trying to make sense of the DUMBASS sign .[ in a school zone no less ].

" PLEASE SLOW DRIVELY " ......I'll be sure to do that next time I'm in a school zone .

So is it any wonder that the DEA locks up an innocent man and forgets about him in a cell for days nearly k*****g the poor s.o.b. ?

Is it any wonder that a US Nuclear Sub Commander decides to do a surface burst , without checking to see if there's another ship in the area ,thus surfacing directly underneath , hitting and sinking it , k*****g many students on that Japanese Research vessel ?

Is it any wonder that 11 muslims with box cutters , after taking PASSENGER JET FLYING COURSES minus any instruction on landing at several US air training facilities , and that being reported to the FBI , nonetheless , eventually were successful in murdering thousands and inflicting atleast a trillion dollars in damage to our economy ?

One must look at the Big Picture and after doing so the conclusion is inescapable .
Frank Zappa's insightful estimation made decades ago , was right on the money - "STUPID IS THE BUILDING BLOCK OF THE UNIVERSE " ....and I'll add that the "word of the day " is..... DOH !!!!

I'll agree with you there , but that doesn't
account for all the outbreaks of stupidity across all segments of society .And not just here but globally .
I'm sure you've heard of the axiom that all disasters are usually preceded by at least three errors or mishaps .
Well add to that -" and are ALWAYS accompanied by STUPIDTY ".

You failed to say that the people who made the sign, painted it, and distributed it before it getting put up were probably some kind of graduates of some public high school. I think that if you and I get together we can place the blame on some teacher and principal somewhere between 1st grade and 2nd grade that should have taught the workers something. Of course, some English teachers along the way failed to poor slobs too. I wonder just how far down the road to failure we have come, so far.
