Five basic laws on human stupidity; we all knew that there are a lot of stupid folks out there, and sometimes we even think that we aren’t amongst that hallowed demographic.

Cipolla’s The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity for a good look at the frequency, distribution, and a simple taxonomy of people being dumb.
