The old George Carlin bit: Think of how dumb the average person is, and remember 50 percent of people are dumber.Good point about all our dumb American brethren. Hmm. Okay, how about this? We can’t give the dumb of us too much credit for getting things done. I say that most Americans doing great things quickly are the smart ones, and the ones doing dumb things are the dumb ones. Okay, I’m getting nowhere. I just remembered Facebook and Silicon Valley. Smart Americans with no common sense doing great things quickly and overly willing to make mistakes. You win.
