(37,573 posts)Because there is lots of ignorance - everywhere.
Even you, I would imagine are ignorant of many things, such as say, the atomic weight of beryllium and the winner of the 1949 World Series and the flight speed of an African swallow.
Is it really killing us? How?
I also think it is wrong to blame the people for their ignorance.
For a simple example, my local newspaper recently ran an editorial about how Congress finally got together and passed a bill for highway construction and student loans. Congress was applauded for finally compromising and accomplishing something.
However, the newspaper did not bother to mention that our own Congressperson was one of just 45 who voted against that bill, and so was one of our Senators.
If people are ignorant, one reason is because a place they turn to in order to get informed - does not inform them.
