how stupid are these people?

...and how stupid am i for asking such a silly question?

Another GOP toilet-tapping incident is reported in the Times-Picayune.

DiFatta twice detained in lewd conduct in restrooms
The report states that DiFatta watched a man use the bathroom while peering through a hole in a bathroom stall. The man held DiFatta until police arrived, at which time he was issued the misdemeanor summons and ordered to appear in court.

First, in the bathroom again - ick!, second, more interference of privacy, third...

oh, hell. what third?

I'm going to repeat this one more time. When I was teaching, the kids would call each other ignorant. I told them that there was nothing wrong with being ignorant. It only meant that you didn't know something and you could find it out by asking questions, reading books, etc.

Stupid, on the other hand, was knowing better and doing something wrong anyway.

When a fourth grader asked what an idiot was, we came up with this definition:
An idiot is someone who is too stupid to know that they're ignorant.

So, I correct myself. These people are not stupid - They are idiots!
