Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can’t help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime: the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.
Robert A. Heinlein,
Time Enough For Love
This is, and may forever be, my favorite quote on the subject of stupidity.

“Stupid is as stupid does.” – Momma Gump.
One of the truest statements ever uttered on this planet.
I prefer the version form ‘The Friends of Eddie Coyle.’
