Back in the day there was a game company called PAS, it stood for Plain And Simple. They made a game called Maelstrom, good game too. You had to save the planet Harmony from the evil Syndicate and their plant soldiers. Can't say that I ever finished the game, couldn't get past Zarkhov's invasion. He would always destroy my fleet and then kill me. Or put better, my fleet would destroy itself, they just didn't like to fight. But that's another story...
Not too long ago there was a movie called MIB, Men In Black. In it one of the agents (K?) says that people are stupid. Individuals, sure they can be smart, but as a group, people are stupid. Not the first time I had heard that statement, but this is the first time I noticed it in the common culture.
Now put those two together: People Are Stupid, Plain And Simple.
PAS
Thanks to dharma for the situation that caused me to put the two together.
