Larry,
My take is that we hold stupid people up as examples of ourselves, without
them we dare not share the freedom to be stupid. Think how many wonderful
things we would not share if we all let our fear of stupidity overwhelm us.
Though I respect, or want to respect, copyright, I don't feel that annonymous
stupidity is a negative thing. Beside that, laughter is an important factor
in our diets.
