Stupid People
This is a story that I hope illustrates the feeling I get when I talk to stupid people.
While talking to my smart friend in the gym locker room about the Madeline Albright's talk at City Arts & Lectures, Wilda mentions a story about how people don't really know who Madeline is.
this stupid girl [TSG] was listening in and joined our conversation,
[TSG] Oh who's that ??
[Me] She used to be Secretary of State during the Clinton administration
[TSG] Oh oh she's a secretary?
[Me] No, no, she represented the US in foreign policy
[TSG] oh she was a police?
[Me laughing] no she was just complaining that the US intelligence about Kim Jong-il was bad
[TSG] I'm intelligent!
All I have to say about that is- Sweetie, ignorance is curable, stupidity is genetic!
