Banality

I have heard that banality and senility go together. No where did it display so vividly in recent inane "discussion" in a certain forum about the ills of the euro and the economic bailouts of certain European economies and the analogous (the poor men didn't use such a helpful, clarifying term; I inserted it here because that was I thought the poor souls were grappling at) role of the U.S. in the Middle East. It was hilarious to see ignorant, senile old men affectedly pontificate, using terms of generalities, on matters that were clearly outside of their understanding and knowledge.
