Are we all STUPID?

Yes, on the average we are all stupid. IQ of 100 is not much.

This is a new theory for me. I knew oil was not going to last forever, but little did i realise the consequenses of a decline in oil.

I have no land. Little money beyond supermarket subsistence level and i have little clue about how to sustain myself. I have tried to explain the theory to freinds and family and have been met with disbelief and denial.

I am hoping to be leaving switzerland soon to emigrate to western australia with my wife and two young children. I hope this theory is wrong. Yet it seems to make complete sense.

Where would a good place be, to situate oneself to improve survival possiblities. Seems to me a city is the last place to be, especially when an organism such as us requires at least 1000 square feet of prime land to feed itself.......

My theory is we are not stupid, just poorly educated.

The following is unearthed for your entertainment. It should probably be administered as a requirement for anyone who wants to run for office.
