Ready to die for your leader, stupid?

SIXTY SEVEN people have died so far, many of them by suicide,
apparently grieving over the demise of Andhra Chief Minister YSR
Reddy. An appeal has gone out from higher political circles to the
surviving single cell organisms of Andhra Pradesh to not commit
suicide, and to remain calm.

Which would be a greater service to the nation - allowing markedly
inferior beings to burn themselves out, or preserving them for
breeding more stupidity? Who would commit suicide over the death of a
political leader? Obviously not someone who is rational, not someone
who is responsible, or level headed. You have to be a bit of a nut
case to take a decision like that. If your family gets bonus money
and they are willing to accept it, then there is no end to this
vicious cycle of stupidity - mad acts - compensation. If this
compensation comes from the government, then that must be a crime in
itself, for attempting to take one's life is in itself a crime, and to
have the taxpayer forcibly participate in a donation that pardons that
crime must be a double crime. Worth checking on.

From a position of power, I'd supply miles of rope, thousands of
litres of kerosene, and a copious amount of poison to those who want
to die, for whatever cause, especially to mourn the death of a
political leader. It would reduce the nation's burden, increase our
average IQ, make us more ecologically friendly, and maybe even sell
some television rights and earn some foreign exchange in the process.

Who in the world wouldn't want to watch live people burning, consuming
poison and retching, or hanging from nooses? A firing squad too,
wouldn't be such a waste of choice. I'm willing to bet our TV
channels are missing out on a concept or two for reality television.
How about a contest at a time like this - "Show your love for your
leader! Die Live on TV!". Get a sexy actress to serve colourful
chocolate coated gems of poison from her belly button and you have a
great show! Imagine raunch, retch, and death on the same screen at
the same time!

We have animals in this country that are simply denoted as humans by
the census. A modern nation has absolutely no necessity for these
organisms beyond that. I am now beginning to understand how some
invaders must have thought of forcibly "civilizing" places they
invaded. The Brits didn't succeed that much, but they gave us
something to think about. We have all kinds of pride attached to who
we were, but who we are gives us much to be ashamed about.

Now why are politicians not even going close to the subject of abject
stupidity that pervades our masses, particularly rural ones? Surely
it must be ripe for picking if there are that many dumbasses in our
villages. Surely there cannot be any opposition politician who dare
say, "Let them be stupid!" and get away with it. Are we not seeing
our country in the grip of a wave of stupidity? Is this so hard to
perceive?

Let's look at a singular moron who is willing to die by suicide over
the inconsolable grief caused by the death of his Chief Minister.
Apart from processing food and creating manure and carbon dioxide,
let's take a guess at his potential contribution to India. Is he
likely to be a hard working farmer? If yes, then we need him. But
then, a hard working farmer is unlikely to let his efforts go waste by
killing himself. So, we can rule that out. Could he have a job?
Potentially.

From initial reports, it seems possible that many of those who died
had benefited from YSR's policies, got freebies like medicare and
electricity, and are now suddenly without hope! How nice that there
are fewer people on the roll for these government services to which
budgets have already been earmarked. Good time for more government
programs to loot the taxpayer.

If there are programs to feed the poor and keep them healthy, and none
to get them to use their brains, come to think of it, we have about
the same interest in cattle don't we? If we do indeed treat them like
cattle, shouldn't they be able to ring a bell or something when they
want to die, and we can recruit them to be guinea pigs for tests in
laboratories? I'm sure there will be thrilling and entertaining
results when some of these morons are given shots of experimental
drugs!

India is running on a dangerously low level of common sense. We're on
fumes when it comes to intelligence, and unless we make a substantial
investment in rational thought and reasoning skills, the pursuit of
knowledge will be a thing of the past and building a modern nation
will constantly remain a part of our future, the distant future.
