An individual who is an easy prey, out in the open or vulnerable to an attack is considered a sitting duck. Finding yourself in this predicament could be an accident, by chance or self induced. Yet, anyone who speaks without filtering their thoughts is like a sitting duck for stupid decisions.

In this politically correct climate, the slightest slip of the tongue can be costly. Unless you are a liberal comedian, no one else is exempt from public scrutiny. Hank Williams Jr. spoke out against president Obama, Jimmy the Greek made an off-color remark and Mississippi State beat writer Matthew Stevens is the latest to lose their job for expressing their opinion. Loose lips ship ships as well as open the door for becoming a sitting duck for the media to shoot down.
For those who fly under the radar, stupid decisions are a by product of the choices you make. Words such as “trust me, I know what I’m doing or so and so said” often set the stage for humiliation. As for me, the further I drift apart from the words of the Bible, the stupider I become. Pride comes before the fall, Proverbs 16:18, is one of the most profound sayings of Solomon. Thus, if anyone boasts, holds their nose up in the air or pumps out their chest, sooner or later the confident will become a sitting duck for stupid decisions, 1 Corinthians 10:12-13.
