"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

Penn Scolds "South Park" Brain Trust

E! -- Sean Penn has a message for the creators of South Park: Voting is cool, and you are not.

And I'm rubber and you're glue... WTF? How's third grade coming along?

While the accuracy of the missive have not been verified by the Penn camp, the words sound like vintage Penn, who is apparently steamed over comments Stone made in Rolling Stone about voting. Stone said, "If you don't know what you're talking about, there's no shame in not voting."

Wow, ya know what? He's right. Stone that is.

"I never mind being of service, in satire and silliness. I do mind when anybody who doesn't have a child, doesn't have a child at war, or isn't or won't be in harm's way themselves, is encouraging that there's 'no shame in not voting.'

And once again, Sean Penn is a moron.

If you don't know the issues, if you don't know the candidate's stances, hell, if you can't speak the language (in order to know what the candidate's stances are), if you can't follow a friggin' arrow a friggin' quarter of a friggin' inch and don't have the ability to punch a friggin' perferated chad out of a friggin' ballot, or if you're voting for who you're voting for because you like their haircut, you shouldn't only not feel shame about not voting, but you should look upon it as your civic responsiblity to not vote.
