70. I can't tell you what to do but I ask you to reflect on this
Edited on Tue Apr-06-10 01:52 PM by TheKentuckian
A child could be raised by wolves or chimps or survive on it's own far from civilization or parents but if you work with them and eventually educate them they will fill in all those gaps in knowledge that we take for granted.

If one is so homely that you have to put a T-Bone around their neck to even get the dog to play with them they can see a great plastic surgeon and go into modeling.

If you have cancer spreading through your body we can offer chemo, radiations, and surgery.

Saul of Tarsus fed Christians to lions and persecuted them with fervor. We are familiar with Wendel Porter that worked with big insurance to make their shit smell like roses. Both "saw the light".

Heck, most are familiar with the story of Lazarus and certainly have heard about people that have flat lined but were resuscitated.

However, as far as I can think of in life, myth, or even in fiction is there any examples of anyone fixing stupid.

Neil Young said that even Richard Nixon has soul.

Think about it from ignorance, to ugly, to fat, to poor, to lazy, to disrespectful, to misinformed, to unable to pay attention, to evil, and even on occasion dead we can help with the situation but like a man that is wiser than he looks that makes a living telling jokes became famous for pointing out-you can't fix stupid.
