You just cannot fix stupid

One has to wonder why it is that people either ignore signage or figure it's just not really dangerous...right honey?

Last week it was video of people in contact with a mom black bear and her cubs, in Yellowstone. The fact that no one was mauled was purely good luck. Mom was looking very confused and the cubs were being cubs.

Now..we have a kid gored by a bison.

    Ever try driving down the freeway (or just about any highway) at the speed limit? You will be the slowest one out there. Speed limit sign? What speed limit sign...

  • I sometimes wonder where the stupid kid is nowdays that climbed in the pen with Binky the polar bear in Anchorage. I wonder if he's any smarter now?

    Probably not.

  • Agree 100% with you Gary. I also think that the media, and cartoons, have contributed to the problem by portraying these animals as warm and cuddly, which of course, they are not.

    A man once tried to place his 5 year old on the back of a 12 foot alligator for a picture!!!!!! Then got mad when he was stopped.

    Stupidity combined with misinformation.
