Robert E. Milliken discusses stupid people. He admits he has done stupid things and that gives him the right to point out other people’s stupidity. It is a matter of takes one to know one.

Milliken is correct people are stupid. He concentrates on American’s which he seems to think are the most stupid. He offers several examples including two idiots that learn the hard way not to mix gasoline and cigarettes. He looks at Americans that do not know how to cross a street at an intersection. He spends most of the book berating drivers that drive too fast and that drive bumper to bumper. They are such a hurry they miss looking around at the beauty of nature.

He mentions bicycle riders that are like deer standing in the middle of the road. I agree with him to a point. Most drivers do not know how to deal with cyclist. My son is adult cyclist. He obeys all of the rules and has been hit by cars twice in the past 9 months. Each time at an intersection where he obeyed the rules and the stupid driver ran the stop sign. Personally I wish he’d just put the bike up but…it is his “right.”

Milliken points out the stupidity of building in a flood plain. DUH!

I enjoyed this book; the photos added much to it. I just wish the author had pointed out a wider variety of stupidity rather than concentrating on drivers. Maybe he’s right maybe most drivers are stupid.
