the atmosphere In the process of producing corn in the field to 
generate 1 gallon of ethanol, it would be mind boggling. Is this idea 
to protect environment.  What were they thinking?  I don't get it. 

If one wants to cut down medical and education expenses, outsource these
two services to any other country in the world.  The local prices would 
drop like a rock. You get it. 

Attending corporate sponsored seminars in personal development, mind
mapping and others alike are only good for escaping from the office.  
Rather than wasting time chatting at water-coolers and copying 
machines, attending these self improvement seminars may be good as long 
as the company is taking the tab.  Ask those that attended these 
seminars, a week after, none have any clue how it affected them. The 
only beneficiaries are those giving the seminars for a fee. You get it. 


Some years ago Chrysler purchased Mercedes- Benz, Kmart purchased Sears,
now TATA purchased Jaguar and Ambani wants to purchase MGM. Snake oil 
salesmen going amok or what. I don't get it. 

When mortgage backed securities were sold as safe investment, how come
the out spoke smart market analysts on TV couldn't figure it out that 
it was all toxic and nothing but scam. I don't get it. 

How come the financial consultants didn't see the connection between
housing bubble and stock market meltdown in advance?  Are they stupid 
or just playing dumb?  I don't get it. 

Tell the relatives of those very old extremely sick patients with no
hope of recovery  in the hospital that Medicare went broke and no more 
money was left for medical care and the nearest kin have to take the 
tab, they will run for the door leaving their loved ones, never to 
comeback. No more unreasonable demands for more tests and surgeries. 
You get it. 

The country folks that benefit most from the government handouts
(farmers, ranchers, cattlemen etc.,) are those that are vocal and 
complaint about too much government, that government is wasting money 
and imposing more taxes.  I don't get it. 

Hundreds and thousands of those folks that file for disability benefits
with social security (mostly unqualified petitioners) are those that 
complain most that government is too intrusive into their personal 
lives and wasting money. I don't get it. 

Ask one of those that disrupt town hall meetings, how many their
immediate family members are beneficiaries of government social 
programs. They will run for the door.  You get it. 

“Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.” hard to understood the
mathematical equation that explains this as part of physics curriculum. 
 If energy cannot be destroyed then what happened to all the energy 
generated from burning oil and gas over the decades.  The energy 
converted to some form is there some place to recover it. I don't get 
it. 

Unfairness, injustice, inequality, disparity, inconsistency,
contradiction, prejudice, intolerance, discrimination, bigotry, 
fanatism or bias whatever the name based on color, creed, caste, 
accent, belief or any other feature or value, is like a human body mass 
index. It can grow fast, slow, steady, or never. 

United States Postal Service (UPS) is losing billions of dollars
delivering junk mail 6 days a week.  What kind of a business model is 
that? I don't get it. 

We need tabloid journalists to take on Wall Street investors, Hedge Fund
managers, Bankers and acquisition mangers to expose their TLC (thieves, 
liars and con men) tactics.  The main street journalists and government 
agencies with their incompetence brought on us the “Great Recession.” 
You get it. 

On above issues, am I thinking stupid or what. I don't get it.
