Short Bus

I was listening to a couple people talking the other day & no it wasn't "eaves dropping", I was actually in the room & participating in the conversation at times but was reading a backpacking book. The comment went something like this. "Those people depicted on the news dress funny & act odd because they "ride the short bus". Now of course the short bus is referring to special needs people who couldn't be completely mainstreamed in school & had to take a bus to special education training & since there were fewer kids, they only needed a small bus, typically called the "short bus".
When people make fun of each other or joke with each other, you can sometimes hear the "short bus " label attached to somebody, which is a jab at somebodies intelligence. The "short bus" folks, usually at no fault of their own, have learning disabilities & can't quite function as a normal person, which is why I have come up with a theory on society as we know it, today.
Wouldn't you think that anybody that makes really stupid decisions regardless of logic, evidence or reality could be considered, "short bus" candidates? I think so & my concern is that after watching all the facts about Obama during this past election, most people in the United States are "short bus" candidates because if you voted for Obama, you don't care about experience, you don't care about ethics, morals, defense or promoting new business. You obviously care more about being like the popular kids, (the actors, the rappers & the politicians) & you care nothing about traditional family values, virtues, unity or constitutional protections & rights.
You are more interested in being popular than doing what is right, You will let special interests determine how you live your life, what policies are enacted & you could care less that, men make government not the other way around. Obama was made by government, for government special interests, he was groomed to do what powerful people tell him to do, he has no morals because his record & life have shown that he only cares about being powerful & famous. He is charismatic, sharp, articulate & educated but as the old Indian proverb states, "once a rattlesnake, always a rattlesnake".
So my closing thought is, Being on the "short bus" isn't a bad thing because those people on the bus, didn't choose to be there & are there to get help. The people who act like they should be on the "short bus" because they have a need to be popular or want something at the cost of others, these are the real crazy people. They have brains but choose to think with insecurities, popularity or selfishness instead of intelligence.
Think about it, should you be riding the short bus or should you be driving the short bus?
