Disdaining idiots since 1979

Welcome to my blog! I've resisted starting one of these things for a long time 'cause I didn't think I had anything interesting to write about. Then I decided IT'S MY BLOG. So, I don't really care. I think my goal here is to write about things that are interesting to ME. I'm sure family will be stopping by to read about the kids and I will often relate stories about the geniuses I teach every day. But in the end, I'm going to, for once in my life, actually write about things I want to write about, and in the rambling, annoying style I so wonderfully exhibit.

As for the title of my blog, the hubby and I quite enjoy making fun of stupid people. One of our favorite movies is Idiocracy. Not because the movie is any good (quite the contrary, actually) but because it is a sad commentary about the state of our country and a scarily prescient possibility. The movie in a nutshell: the intelligent people are waiting longer to have kids and are having fewer, and the idiots are reproducing like rabbits. Which over time degrades the overall human intelligence quotient. This scares me, mainly because I can see it happening IRL. To which I reply: Seriously?
