“Stupid is what stupid does” … I fail to see where there is anything wrong with that rather universal statement.
If certain parties had done only one-tenth the good works that another well known and respected party has done for his community — like Randy Simms, for example — then there would be no more poverty and privation stalking the land of those certain other neither famous nor respected parties.
If stupid did not do, nor say, what is usually expected of stupid, then the threat of what might transpire from stupid’s threats would be without foundation.
Tradition dictates that to hunt or fish one should use the implements of tradition: compass, hook and line, spears, bows and arrows; stupid says use GPS, guns, trawls, Ski-Doos, spotter-planes, night-vision glasses, radar sound-detectors, and then expect the fish and animals to survive to give again next year. And if they fail, then there is always welfare or projects; these are there anyway.
Did we learn nothing on our Grand Banks and inshore fishery? Indeed, “stupid is what stupid does” and no one, including stupid, should be exempted or apologized to.

"Hey, you got fascism in my oppressive patriarchal cult!" "You got outdated religious dogma in my dictatorship!" Mmmm, clerical fascism, a Vatican tradition since Pius XI.
