A Source of Humiliation

Antiplanner speaks for all right-thinking people.
So what’s so humiliating about Japan’s maglev? As an American, the humiliating thing is that there are other Americans who fall for the argument that because some other country is wasting a hundred billion dollars on a transportation system that goes half as fast as America’s planes, we should waste at least that much money here. That only goes to demonstrate the failure of America’s educational system to help people gain the analytical skills they need to avoid being taken by con artists.
Ponder the fact that a stupid person’s vote counts just the same as yours. Be thankful that things aren’t as bad as they could be.
