Worried about the intelligence of our population and the viability of our country going forward? I offer you this: At one time, due to phenomenal marketing/groupthink, a sizable portion of our population, including otherwise intelligent people, were convinced to part with their hard earned money to purchase a rock, and call it a pet. They didn’t want to, they knew it was a rock, they were compelled to by others around them, who fell for the same thing, and not wanting to feel as foolish as they obviously were, convinced others to be just as foolish. People want to sell a rock, are you buying?
