If #DavidHogg were actually a #democrat, he'd be trying to help Jordan Wood in Maine oust the ridiculous Susan Collins from the US Senate. Jordan is young, has years of hill experience, worked diligently to reduce the influence of money in politics and defends #democracy at every turn. Wasting money like he did last cycle is just #stupid and counter-productive. #uspol #uspolitics

I got a lens adaptor from Ebay to test a lens and it was crap, didn't fit properly. So I got a return accepted by the seller. Lovely, Ebay supplied me a free label to post it back, I posted it back and I thyen I got my money back. Today the post arrived and I got the adaptor back. The seller refused to accxept it. I'm not suprised it was crap.

Why Stupidity Is More Dangerous Than Evil via Lifehacker [Shared]

Dietrich Bonhoeffer knew more than you or I are likely to ever know about about the line between stupidity and outright evil. The Lutheran pastor and theologian had a front row seat as he watched the Nazis—history’s evilest stupid people (or stupidest evil people)—ascend to power and come to rule through terror during the 1930s and ‘40s.

In a letter to his friends, family, and followers written while he awaited execution at Flossenbürg concentration camp for his role in the July 20, 1944 assassination attempt on Adolph Hitler, Bonhoeffer detailed his thoughts on the root cause of the moral and intellectual infection that resulted in the Third Reich. His conclusion: It’s the stupidity, stupid.
