Intelligent Idiots

I found it astounding that someone who has the intelligence and the ability to be a fully functional member of society can be a complete idiot.

If you can afford to drive a car that costs around half a million one would assume that you have also mastered the skills to read. Based on that assumption is it not logical to assume that putting your child in the front seat, despite all the manufacturers warnings and
all the safety tips advising against it, is stupidity in itself?

Why would a supposedly intelligent human being knowingly put there children at risk? It goes against every instinct in our bodies. Even at a very basic genetic level we are programed to protect our own.

Yet every day we see people risking the lives of their children for no known reason whatsoever.

So to use some very basic mathematics.

Intelligence + Stupidity = Idiots
