Ignorance and apathy [View all]

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.
