Yesterday, on the way home from work, traffic on the expressway ramp came to a sudden hault. Why? Because there were trash bags full of leaves on the ramp.

It seems that some Einstein loaded the bags of leaves onto his snow mobile trailer to haul them to where ever. And, being in a big hurry, he decide to use the expressway.

Well, guess what, when he went from city speeds to highway speeds, the bags of leaves blew right off of that sideless trailer and landed in the road. Traffic had to come to a complete stop while this clown gathered his leaves. Then, do you know what he did? He threw the bags back onto the trailer. I guess he figured that it was just a fluke that they fell off of the trailer in the first place.

Well, at least no one got hurt but what about next time? Since he seems to lack common sense, he is going to do something stupid again and who knows what will happen. Maybe the next time he will hurt someone.

Our iron now has a warning lable that advises the users against ironing their clothes while they are being worn. Sad to say, I know some one who has attempted this. Likewise, our lawn mower has a safety switch which shuts off the engine if you let go of the handle. And again, I know some one who thought that their hand was faster than the blade.

I think that we do society, as a whole, a great disservice when we post warning lables and install safety switches for things that should be just plain common sense. We should just let all the stupid people kill/injure themselve. But instead, we protect them so that they can reproduce more stupid people.
