What is so sad about foolish joke auctions like this "40,000 watt

is that there are going to be folks out there that are going to take
it seriously!!
There was a fellow that had something like a "100 GHz Pull-Start
Computer with
Infinite Ram and Googlebyte Hard Drive." There were bidders right and
left for
it, and the picture was a photoshopped image, and it *said the item
did not really
exist* in the description. What happened to peoples sense of humor?
I guess it's
like the reason most magazines don't do April first articles any
more, folks just
don't "get" things like that any more.

The goverment of this land has turned (for the most part) the people of
this land, into those waiting for a handout.
The government has it's people so dependant upon them (for the most
part) that people have forgotten how to think for themselves.
We don't kill and process our own meat, we don't plow, sow nor reap our
own harvest, while milk is no longer delvered, 1 in 1000 people (my
guestimate) have never reached under a cow, for milk.
No one does things for themselves, anymore. It seems to me, that the
last group of folks that have ret/maintained the ability to think, are
those of us who are creative enough to build stuff on our own. Not only
homebrewing hams, but other hobbyists.
The government has succeeded in 'dumbing down America', and for the most
part, we're content with that.
but then... what do we know?
