As such, it's pretty hard to rate who is dumb, dumber, dumbest? And who is stupid, plain stupid, moronic, imbecilic?? The author would hazard a guess that it is Joy Sinnott who is dumb - the original moron from Edmonton, Alberta also working for Diane Finley's department!!! The author would hazard a guess that it is A. Wakabayashi who is dumber - trying to support the original moron from Edmonton, Alberta Joy Sinnott!!! The author would hazard a guess that it is C. Loforti who is Dumbest - again trying to support the original moron from Edmonton, Alberta Joy Sinnott!!! The author would hazard a guess that it is L. Hout and S. Valcourt who are stupid, plain stupid - just following chairperson C. Loforti's ruling!!! The author would hazard a guess that it is Services Canada's Diane Finley who is moronic for hiring these people? The author would hazard a guess that it is Prime Minister Stephen Harper who is imbecilic for appointing Diane Finley to such a posting? These morons tell a 60 year old woman she must find a job 2459 miles away before she can join her 65 year old husband!! These people aren't dumb, dumber, dumbest, stupid, plain stupid, moronic, or imbecilic - they are just plain scrum!!!

True News of the World's Least Competent People

This shocking, surprisingly entertaining romp into the intellectual nether regions of today's underthirty set reveals the disturbing and, ultimately, incontrovertible truth: cyberculture is turning us into a society of know-nothings. The Dumbest Generation is a dire report on the intellectual life of young adults and a timely warning of its impact on American democracy and culture. For decades, concern has been brewing about the dumbed-down popular culture available to young people and the impact it has on their futures. But at the dawn of the digital age, many thought they saw an answer: the internet, email, blogs, and interactive and hyper-realistic video games promised to yield a generation of sharper, more aware, and intellectually sophisticated children. The terms “information superhighway” and “knowledge economy” entered the lexicon, and we assumed that teens would use their knowledge and understanding of technology to set themselves apart as the vanguards of this new digital era. That was the promise. But the enlightenment didn’t happen. The technology that was supposed to make young adults more aware, diversify their tastes, and improve their verbal skills has had the opposite effect. According to recent reports from the National Endowment for the Arts, most young people in the United States do not read literature, visit museums, or vote. They cannot explain basic scientific methods, recount basic American history, name their local political representatives, or locate Iraq or Israel on a map. The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future is a startling examination of the intellectual life of young adults and a timely warning of its impact on American culture and democracy. Over the last few decades, how we view adolescence itself has changed, growing from a pitstop on the road to adulthood to its own space in society, wholly separate from adult life. This change in adolescent culture has gone hand in hand with an insidious infantilization of our culture at large; as adolescents continue to disengage from the adult world, they have built their own, acquiring more spending money, steering classrooms and culture towards their own needs and interests, and now using the technology once promoted as the greatest hope for their futures to indulge in diversions, from MySpace to multiplayer video games, 24/7. Can a nation continue to enjoy political and economic predominance if its citizens refuse to grow up? Drawing upon exhaustive research, personal anecdotes, and historical and social analysis, The Dumbest Generation presents a portrait of the young American mind at this critical juncture, and lays out a compelling vision of how we might address its deficiencies. The Dumbest Generation pulls no punches as it reveals the true cost of the digital age—and our last chance to fix it.

The author writes about the deplorable treatment of the "little guy". How can a 60 year old woman look for a job 2459 miles away, as these morons - Cynthia LoForti, L. Hout and S. Valcourt state?? Dumb, dumber and dumbest? It's the distance between Faywood, New Mexico (NM) and Winnisquam, New Hampshire (NH) or 1 day 17 hours of solid driving? Who do these three idiots work for - none other than the so-called independent Board of Referees run by Diane Finley's department!!! Services Canada Diane Finley apparently employs the dumbest bunch this author has seen in a long time!!!
