Common Nonsense: The New ''Golden'' Age of Unreason Chronicles of Dumb Statements and the Dumbasses (Mostly Politicians) Who Make Them
()
About this ebook
Anyway, this book is not about murders or guns. In a way though, its about death- the death of reason and sense in politics. Its about some insidious behavior that politicians get away with. Society itself is to blame for tacitly permitting politicians to engage in such a behavior.
So here in the United States, as is the case everywhere, politicians get away with too much: Corruption; lying or showing a disdain for facts; being lazy; stealing; and cheating on their spouses. We also allow them to make promises that they cant possibly keep- or never keeping promises that they can easily keep. We have put the bar for tolerable behaviors, or conduct expected of our leaders, very low. We have reached a stage where the moral code of our politicians is on par with, if not worse than, that of criminals.
Well, this author decided to draw a line, a red line, if you want to be dramatic, on dumbassedness- or rather- on the dumb things that the people we look up to in society, especially our political leaders, say. They can get away with lying, being corrupt, etc., but they will not be let off so easily for saying things that are decidedly dumb. Just as Iran will hear from Israel and the U.S. if its nuclear (or as George W. Bush would say, nucular) ambitions crosses Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahus somewhat arbitrary red line, politicians here will hear from me if and when they cross my own arbitrarily laid dumbassedness red line.
Like most citizens, Ill tolerate- barely- such maladapted behaviors of our politicians as corruption, cheating, infidelity, lying, not keeping campaign promises, etc., but not dumbassedness. This is what this book is about. This authors blood boils when he hears these stupid politicians, like Indianas U.S. Senate candidate, Richard Mourdock say such things as, A woman being raped and conceiving as a result, is in Gods grand scheme of things. That is, God wanted it that way, and therefore that the victim shouldnt be allowed to terminate such a pregnancy.
Unlike most books, this is not one long, continuous story. One need not necessarily start reading from page one or chapter one successively to the last. One can jump around, or even begin with the last chapter. Every chapter is a stand-alone chapter. There is no continuity to worry about if you decide to read the book in a sort of haphazard manner. Youre going to encounter unbelievable dumbassedness of our politicians on every page.Politicians and other leaders of society may get away with having the morals and ethics of alley cats, but Ill be damned if Ill let them get away with the immaturity of pre-adolescents and the dumbassedness of a jackass. This is my raison detre, or if you want to be "religious" about it, its my calling.Let me add that had my sense of self-preservation not been so heightened, Id have moved to Russia to take on Emperor Vladimir Putin.But I dont like having Polonium-210 as part of my diet.
Thank you and enjoy.

Kabembo K. Chinku (formerly “Nathan”), and soon to be author of way too many books (all of which will no doubt garner highly critical acclaim), was born in Mufulira, Zambia, sometime in the 20th Century. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Development Economics from the University of Zambia as well as a Master of Professional Accountancy degree from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. His interests are sports (soccer, golf, tennis), reading, watching or listening to comedy, and exercising. His faith is in only two true “Supreme Beings”: Science and Reason. He believes that people that deny science- all science- those that are unreasonable, and those who are devoid of a sense of humor, are all “infi dels.” His #1 ambition before the “curtain closes” on his life is to go and participate in “The Running of the Bulls” in Pamplona, Spain. He currently lives somewhere in an undisclosed location in Indiana, USA.
