Ignorance is painless

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

That's why so many RWers smile all the time.

That's why the people with power like to quash those who question or tilt at their authority.

It's painless to the owners of the ignorance...

But it sure can hurt others...

How many dead, George?

1. Ignorance is actually bliss

My pain is caused by knowledge.

Will the synergy of the nets and one on one human interaction be enough to overcome the rightwing disinformation campaign that will be waged on the airwaves?

2. But So Is Awareness.

The painful part is desire.

4. That's the truth , which will set you free.

5. Ummmm, What Now?

Sorry, didn't grasp your intent.

7. To praise awareness.

8. Ahhhh, Gotcha. :o)

3. They get an Orgasmic look when spewing rhetoric and Kkkarlisms

You know how a dog acts by himself ,as opposed to when he's in a pack.

[Jcrowley]

6. There are

copious amounts of pharmaceuticals and mass doses of bread and circuses that only dull the pain that's there deep inside that grey miasma of ignorance.

Uncertain emotions bring uncertain smiles.

9. Na they are like Rush on drugs

10. Yes, and the Curse of Attentiveness

Is that there's no going back. There is such pain and suffering involved in paying attention to the world, but it's impossible to decide, once having paid attention, that "I no longer want to pay attention or be aware of what's going on." There's no going back, once you make that leap to being intelligent.
