What You Don't Know

I saw on facebook the other day a post that someone put on their status that just made so much sense. It said "Ignorance is bliss, no it's simply ignorance is ignorance". These words are so true and so many people actually believe it. Whatever happened to knowledge is power? Did we lose our way in the war against stupidity? Or did we simply give up teaching people that incompetence is not okay and also really annoying? I get that the less we know the less trouble but that's no excuse or an explanation on why people do the stupid, idiotic things that they do. Here's an example: A man kills another man and when asked why he did it, he replies "I didn't know any better". BULLSHIT, and how lame is that excuse. But it falls in the realm of ignorance is bliss. In other words they didn't know that murder was bad. Okay maybe that is a little extreme, but it's truth. So the one saying that rings loud and clear is "What you don't know will kill you". Think about it.
