I think you are confusing stupidity with desperation.
A stupid person is the

and thinks an iBook would make the difference between her son getting into
Harvard or being a crack dealer. Stupid people are the ones getting trampled
on by the desperate storming the line.
To this I can only respond:
Dignity (dig' ni tee) - it's not just a word in the dictionary.
Used in a sentence:
There is no dignity in a herd of 5,550 jackasses.
