I once heard someone described as "dumb as a bucket of hair". I thought it a creative simile. cn

The billboard in question, at the corner of 122nd and Division in Portland, which is in opposition to Measure 80, the voter initiative which will be on November's general election ballot and would legalize cannabis in Oregon, features what has been discovered to be a manipulated stock photo of a "meth addict," reports Deborah Morgan at examiner.com.

The Lesson of the Monkeys


February 7th, 2012 Jason Wells
I was first told of this experiment* by a former work colleague, and later discovered this illustration of it. It’s both illuminating and disturbing.








There is a clunky word that describes this phenomenon: filiopietism, or the reverence of forebears or tradition carried to excess. But I prefer another term for it: the tragic circle. I believe many of these tragic circles exist, mostly unseen, in across all cultures and societites, causing untold harm. When discovered, they should be terminated.
The lesson is as obvious as it is important: question everything. Dare to be skeptical. Think of all the age-old idiocy and insanity waiting to be exposed.
