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!!!

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
