Dead People Only Use Half Their Brain

"Dead people" is the only population group I can think of to put before a statement like that.

Suppose you read "Mexicans employ only 50% of their mental capacity when cooking" in a discourse of the tastelessness of Mexican food. Imagine a public lecture where it was stated as a scientific fact that Newfoundland's weak economic performance was tied to "Newfoundlanders engaging only half their brains when thinking about business or financial matters." Consider writing that Jews or Muslims or African Americans or women or ...

Well, let's not. The whole thing is tasteless.

As tasteless as using a cartooned image of Arnold Schwarzenegger to represent boys and men in an article, published by ABC Canada (September 2006), that informs us "Dr. David Booth... suggests that in language operations women use both hemispheres of the brain at once while men use just the left hemisphere."

Perhaps Booth is a half-witted idiot. That's no reason for him to trash-talk the rest of us.
