Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest

Susan,

I don't know if the dumber is a symptom or an inevitable condition. It is just a theory. I was watching a show last night in HD about the National Parks. Sometime between 700-1200, the Pueblos built the Cliff Dwellers in the West. I was amazed they could execute that architecture. They had to perfectly stack those rocks on an uneven surface, especially since they didn't have the mortar or concrete that we have. Have you ever played Jenga at a party? The game ends quickly. If the Pueblos had Jenga, they would likely need more blocks.

Teddy Roosevelt rode into the Yosemite wilderness with just John Muir and slept with just blankets under the stars. Almost nobody today would want to do that. However, even with being forced to do just that, how many today wouldn't even survive the night?
