Not because I believe ignorance is<i> bliss. </i> Ignorance is the one thing that makes me want to punch people in the face. Hatred stems from ignorance. Hence groups that take hatred to the extreme (KKK, just for an example). What I have found to be true is the following: What I most dislike in the people that I meet is normally something I hate within myself. Am I ignorant? No. Am I unaware of the angry world that we live in? No. I think of myslef as open to all God's creatures, all races, all nationalities. Am I unaware that the President that I voted into office is making some hypocritical decisions? <i>HAYULL NO.</i> I disagree with the Dixie Chicks (Natalie Maines), but I've often agreed with what Jon Stewart has joked about. So where am I as far as my knowlege of the goings-on elsewhere in the world? I know what's going on, but at my own pace! I'm just an intelligent yet easily depressed mother who chooses what I feed my brain on any given day. I deliberately choose NOT to watch the news on TV. Not because I believe ignorance is bliss.
