Ignorance and apathy

[Iamscrewed]

The level of disconnect between much of the public and reality in this day and age has been engineered over a long period of time by the constant dumbing down of the voting public from grade school on and the constant propaganda. The constant flooding of the "zone " with intentional garbage doesn't help.
Someone said you can't have a healthy democracy without an educated and well informed voter. Unfortunately most of the people I know are either apathetic, misinformed, ignorant or just plain stupid.
Unfortunately they won't wake up until the stench and piles of bodys are overwhelming. History has warned us. We're going down the same road as 1930's Germany. Time to wake up people.

1. The late Pope write in his autobiography:

"Indiference is agression."
Many of our fellow Americans are simply indifferent to the lives and needs of others, thus enabling the truly evil to visit aggression on strangers and have it go unpunished and sometimes praised.

Confirmation bias on Social media has hypnotized and desensitized.

This will only end when it happens to them when the leopard eats their face. Until that day, when it becomes REAL to them,
the ignorant will continue to be indifferent, and the aggression will continue unchecked.

2. NCLB had much to do with the dumbing down.

Saw this coming 20 years ago.
