RECALCULATING

Turn left at the cornfield.

Just ran a call way out west of Indy in GPS no mans land. It's one thing if my work computer gives up and says it doesn’t know where the hell the call is.  What drives me nuts is when it thinks it knows where it's going and takes you 10 miles from where you are supposed to be. Luckily this customer gave me the heads up and warned me not to use the GPS and gave me the directions. Sure enough my nag-a-gator tried to lead me astray.

Seems like in this part of Indiana the GPS does this a lot. Years ago I was running a call out by Poland Indiana, have you ever met a Hoosier Pollock? Anyway, I was following the GPS with full trust until the road turned into a private gravel lane in between two cornfields. I had already figured the GPS was full of shit, just then it told me to turn left, right into the cornfield!  

Of course I didn't take the advice from something that I knew was in error, I decided not to turn in to the cornfield and instead searched the map for the real road.
I have heard several stories of numbskulls doing just that, following blindly the directions given to them from a source that had clearly shown obvious signs of inaccuracies and flawed information.
It's hard to fathom how some go ahead and make that left turn in a cornfield or a ditch knowing there is no clear path in that direction. Had that voice they were trusting ever been wrong before? Of course it had.
Remember when they were in Greece and the voice would say turn left, turn left, recalculating, turn left. Did they find what they were looking for then?
Weren’t they searching for a little place called Utopia? Where did they end up? Driving left into a ditch.
They figured it just needed to recalculate and kept turning left.
Same thing happened in most of Europe, they just kept following that command, turn left, left, left.
Same result, same ditch, same hope for that familiar "recalculating route".

You know, a GPS is nothing more then a task specific computer. A computer is a marvelous machine, but it is only as good as the people that write the programming.
If you have people with flawed thinking, such as, Marx, Lenin, Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers, the Clinton's and Obama and all the other leftist lawmakers who are the ones doing the programming, how can anyone expect any other result but ending up in the ditch.

How can you see socialism failure after socialism failure and still believe that this is the correct route to Utopia?
It brings this axiom to mind "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results".
I have seen this gem credited to Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein.
I don't know who really said it and I don't care, it's genius and I know whoever said it could not have been a damned socialist! 

 I do know who said this, "if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch".

One thing for sure, those two blind guys will have plenty of company down there.
