My thought of the day, a paraphrase of what I read in the book Forge Of Heaven by C.J. Cherryh:

"It's easy to confuse innocence with stupidity."

That's as close as I can put it but I wouldn't use the word "stupidity" since I don't think that's a
correctable condition. I'd use the word "ignorance". There's a cure for that. Of course there's also
a cure for "innocence" and all this is only a deflection to spare us from our real problems which is
how in hell are we going to put out the tRUMP/reTHUG fire that's been started and kept burning to
destroy us and our country? Maybe it's time we lost our innocence AND our ignorance...
