I used to think they were being stupid.
and if we just spent enough time pointing out the stupidity to them, the light would dawn.

Until I realized their "stupidity" somehow always made obscene piles of money for them, at our expense.

No one would be stupid enough to send that coupon for real.
but they would be ignorant and unaware enough to do it.

They really do live in a whole separate world, and have no clue, nay, they don't want to have any clue,
about our reality.

they are very very dangerous.
AND
it really will take a 2x4 to get their attention.
