Stupidity is the one thing that unites our species.
Regardless of race, color or storage capacity, we are all doomed and driven by our inate genetic stupidity. Try as we might to rise above, cover up, beat down or ignore it, we all have moments of stupidness. Our church and our saint celebrate this unavoidablity on the appropriate day not to encourage stupid behavior but give homage to it. Maybe by giving stupid it's due it might leave us alone just a little. F. Zappa penned in his autobiography that scientists believe that the most prevalent element in the universe is hydrogen.
