We’re an evolving species, with each generation being honed by the forces of natural selection to become more efficient… Until you meet people like this:
GREAT FALLS, Mont. – “Authorities say a man who had three outstanding warrants for his arrest gave officers a false name during a traffic stop — but ended up in custody anyway because that man was also wanted.
Court records say that during a traffic stop Monday in Great Falls, Jonothan Ray Gonsalez, of Box Elder, told police that his name was Timothy Michael Koop Jr.
The officer learned a man by that name was wanted in Hill County and arrested him.”
Giving an alias that also has a warrant attached to it is a new low of stupidity. I’m thinking we should let more people run with scissors at early age, as stories like this break my brain.

“…stories like this break my brain.”
Arb, you and your high intellectual horse! Just kidding. If I said I didn’t think that way sometimes or be just as frustrated, I’d be lying. It is, however, one of my 2011 goals to try and change as I try out being more empathetic.
Rather than be frustrated at these people or be wanting them to remove themselves quickly somehow from the gene pool, I now try and appreciate their intellectual freedom instead. I also continue to thank nature for making stupidity come so easily to those of them who break the law. This guy is one example, more stronger examples are the pedos that Chris Hansen busts on To Catch A Predator. Ironically if these types of people WEREN’T so stupid, more people would be hurt.

We should celebrate stupid then? :) I never really thought of it that way Vern, but I suppose there is nothing really wrong with dumb criminals.

In social species, evolution occurs through social unit, not the individual. The human social unit is supposed to be a nomadic band of around 100 people. People like Mr. Clever here are part of the gene pool to protect the rest of us. If everyone was smart who would we send out of the fire circle to go investigate weird noises? Don’t under estimate the need for cannon fodder in the evolutionary arms race.
