The 85 percent rule and how it impacts our world part 1

Greetings,  I guess like many people out there, I want my view to be heard.  I'm still naive enough to believe that "we"  the American people can make a difference.   So I will try with a blog.  
         This all started with a co worker conversation.  I made an observation, based on several meetings at work.  I called it the 85 percent rule, ( I'll explain shortly). What started as sarcasm in a conversation, turn out to be truth, or a perceived  truth.   It was suggested I put this all in a blog.
           Than the Year 2000  started, and the politics of the world, but more important the United States, began to frustrate many of "us".  
           Well now in 2011, it seems the 85 percent rule is more accurate than I dreamed and the politics of  America have reached such a destructive course that, I wanted to see how many others felt the frustration. And can we mobilize to do something about it. 
           The 85 percent rule is a simple all be it sarcastic view on the species of human, and a way to understand why we do what we do.
            85 percent of the entire world population alive now, who had lived and will ever live is as "dumb" as a box of rocks, a fence post.
              5 percent is of normal intelligence
              5 percent are so smart it scary
              5 percent are dumber than the 85 percent dumber than rocks.
I'm defining dumb as a person who has the correct information but decides to ignore it for what ever reason or has access to the correct information and ignores it. People who do things to follow the crowd, who decide not to reason a decision out because its to difficult.
                We are all guilty of this at some time, the important thing is to realize this and decide to change, to "think" .    Now little matters,  like a cup  of  coffee versus a foam latte with a marsh mellow,, hey no big deal.  But voting for some one, picking a life style...than you should have to think.
                How is this a political blog, because the 85 percent rule impacts us all , including elected officials.  And those that vote or pay to put them in office.
                 Lets be very clear, I do not want people to think like me, I only ask that people think.
If I were perfect, I wouldnt be writing a blog. 
                 I know that the statements of the 85 percent rule anger people, but what I have observed, tells me its right.  I also understand  observation is not imperical data, yet, the satistical trend keeps on showing up.
              So I hope you read these, comment ( with out getting nasty )  and hopefully  "we" can reach a concensous , on what to do to fix the problem , and take back our government.
               Its necessary to bounce between talking of the Country issues and the 85 percent rule.  It all ties in.
Part of the problem, is that when we as people and elected officials  discuse or decide on an issue we look at in a  "vacuum"   while the reality is that  everything we humans do, tie in together, regardless of if we want it to or not.
          Here is an example.  And I am delibrately trying to make it extreme so you see why I state our issues are  all tied together.
Your driving on the road and run out of gas.   Another car rear ends you blocking the road.  The blocked road  prevents the delivery of a heart intended for a patient in the hospital
You ran out of gas because you are short of money because your unemployed because your job went over seas
The other car ran into you because the driver was on a cell phone  watching a movie while driving
The heart transport company was trying to save money, so the patient died
That patient would have ended a dispute between to rival nations  so with his or her death the world was plunged into global war for 20 years.
              Yes I know, extreme but the idea is  your out of gas  worried about a job, not thinking about why the company went over seas  or why a person is driving and watching a movie.   Each a different issue but tied together.   I can do more realistic than that, however you get the point.
              Another key truth, is that there are very few absolutes involving life.  Those things that you absolutely  must do to live.
                You must be born, or this doesnt  matter
                 You must breath, you take in nutrients and fluids.  You must remove waste.    Beyond that you do not have to do anything!   I dont even say eat, you can get nutrients without eating.  You do not have to have children for YOU to live, you dont need clothing, you dont need to pay taxes.   Everything else is a bonus on the  how you live.  Clothes, realationships,  material items, all that is quality of life.  Just realize you can live without them, its only the quality of life would be altered.   
               Thats a good thing.   Because you decide what you want your quality of life to be, and that becomes what you fight for ... what you work for, etc.
              Again this all ties into where  America is going, who is ruling it and is there any thing "we" can do about it.
            I know many people have tried, but dang, many people have become political blocks, maybe we can become some one that is finally listened to.  Lets see.
