Doing the Dummy Down…
I do not believe that the world should “dummy down” to the lowest of intelligence levels.
Instead, those with the lowest of intelligence should be encouraged to bring themselves up to near normal.
By early next year, drivers headed toward Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport will start seeing signs for “Terminal 1″ and “Terminal 2.”
After weeks of debate and a flurry of criticism from the public, the Metropolitan Airports Commission voted 10-3 on Monday to replace the existing “Lindbergh” and “Humphrey” terminal signs.
You read it right. The local government authority called the Metropolitan Airports Commission is taking the historic Minnesota names of Charles Lindbergh and Hubert Humphrey and replacing them with Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
Why?
Airport staff earlier estimated that 30,000 fliers a year find themselves at the wrong terminal.
One speaker Monday pointed out that that’s less than two-tenths of 1 percent of the 16 million who pass through the airport each year.
Now, if someone gets mixed up between Lindbergh and Humphrey, I bet they could get mixed up between 1 and 2?
Just think … 2/10 of 1% … the names Lindbergh and Humphrey are gone.
Doesn’t sound right to me.
