"I have heard that there is a Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge -- It is said that Knowledge is power and the like --
Methinks there is equal need of a society for the diffusion of useful Ignorance -- for what is most of our boasted so called knowledge but a conceit that we know something which robs us of the advantages of our actual ignorance --"

--Henry David Thoreau

Are you trying to avoid working or is all this quoting from stuff you are supposed to be reading anyway? :)

oh I'm working. All the quoting is from stuff that I'm reading for class. I've been good today :)

I think that the government and parts of the media are doing their best with the diffusion of ignorance

ah yes, but their version is not useful ignorance, it's dangerous ignorance. Big difference :)
