"The impression that humanity has fallen under the domination of unreason or madness [déraison] overwhelms our spirit, confronted as we are with systemic collapses, major technological accidents, medical or pharmaceutical scandals, shocking revelations, the unleashing of the drives, and acts of madness of every kind and in every social milieu – not to mention the extreme misery and poverty that now afflict citizens and neighbours both near and far."

I once heard that God must love stupid people because He made so many of them.

Then, again, someone else pointed out that on the Bell Curve of human intelligence, if you are in the middle, then at least half of those in the world are dumber than you are.

My last IQ test was 121. Not a genius but smart enough to pour water out of boot when the directions are on the bottom of it, on the sole.
