The Great American Stupid-Out

Chadd Wheat has declared today to be the The Great American Stupid-Out -

In the tradition of the Great American Smoke Out and other public-driven voluntary bans, I'm starting a grass-roots effort to have a new one started. May 24, 2004, will be “The Great American Stupid-Out”

I think this is a Great Idea - and have diligently tried to participate.

To participate, all you have to do is voluntarily do nothing stupid on May 24. Depending on your habits and environment, this may require a little sacrifice, but the resulting banishment of all things stupid for twenty-four hours will make America a smarter, saner place to work and live.

There are many interesting ideas for implementing this new celebration in Chadd's proposal. But alas! I failed in banishing stupidity for even one day when I managed to drive a small piece of chicken wire under my thumbnail this morning, and failed further this afternoon when I left the cell phone at home on a drive to town. Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!
