Anger Is Making Us Stupid

...“Fear is the path to the dark side,” said Yoda. “Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

The glorified muppet had a point. I’ve been watching Republicans cheer for Donald Trump, the pro-amnesty, pro-government healthcare, friend of Hillary Clinton, and all-around Democrat backer, who, it seems pretty likely, is running for president to bleed off enough Republican support to ensure the Democrat candidate’s election....

And yet conversely, stupidity is making us angry.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

My stupidity makes me angry, and then my anger makes me afraid.  But then my fear turns to stupidity.  It's an endless cycle that ends with me voting for an ego-maniacal billionaire with a bad toupee.

Tragically, that's no toupee.   :smokin:

Are you sure?  My guess is that there is a toupee hiding under the bad comb over.

I'm sure.  I met him months ago and couldn't take my eyes off his head.  It's a magnificent comb over.   ^-^
