I found this post at HotAir by happenstance. It starts as a story about a man in Seattle importing a boat from Canada and how the DHS Customs official tried to get him to swear to a simple lie on a form. It ends with a more important observation by Scott Adams (Dilbert author) about how the complexity of modern life is swamping our brains with trivia, leaving little room for knowledgeable thought.

Now for the additional humor and followup, see here:

If you can stand it, be sure to read some of the comments to the blog. I'll never understand how so many people can express so much vitriol for someone they don't know. At least the conversation gets a little more civil later on.
