- Nope I don't think that they'll cease either. Then again I'm sure that
- Lottery ticket sales will not cease just because it's stupid to waste
- money them. Come to think about it I doubt that domestic abuse victims
- will all leave their abusers, just because I think it makes sense. Ge'ez,
- people still send Pat Robertson money.
-
- I think I go on and on with this list...

- Gee do you think that this means people will always continue to do stupid
- things, even though I know the things are stupid. I've got some money I'd
- like to wager with you on this. Hell yes people will go on investigating
- UFOs, buying lottery tickets, getting beaten up by their spouses...
-
- Doesn't make it more intelligent though does it?
