A WORD OF WARNING

Nothing destroys a nation as effectively as the ignorance, apathy, and complacency of its citizens.
ignorance comes in two forms . . .
self-generated – when folk are too lazy/apathetic to take the trouble to learn what is happening in the world and what their government is doing in their name and . . .
government sponsored – when governments deliberately seek to keep their citizens in the dark about what they are getting up to
both are equally bad !
I agree wholeheartedly.
The first form is especially practiced in countries like the United States.
The second form is especially practiced in countries like North Korea.
Yet self-generated ignorance inevitably leads to government sponsored ignorance.
In other words, ignorance, apathy, and complacency inevitably lead to totalitarianism–or total anarchy.
