Powerful movie

I saw a classic movie that came highly recommended by friends.  Since it was made by Mike Judge (pro commerce hero) I couldn't miss it: Idiocracy.  It is about a below average man and woman who survive into the future where everyone is slightly dumber than the current crop of Americans.

What is so great is to see an entire Congress, President and the entire American population in the thrall of an absurd idea that is promoted by popular media. That is what the movie is about. 

Of course the movie idea that is absurd is that Gatorade is a good nutrient for plants.

The current absurd idea promoted by the media universally and voiced by the American Congress, President and most of the public is that a tiny rise in CO2 (half of 10th of a percentage point) is bad for 99% of life forms that were created by CO2 over the past 2 billion years.

Loved that movie. It did a great job of portraying where our society is today and the path on which it's headed. Fortunately, there are still too many smart people around to prevent that outcome from happening; but the global warming, reality show, celebrity worshiping culture we live in sure is trying, isn't it?
