What is ignorance?
Question speaks for itself. Poll is made public, in order to aid discussion. And by the way, this is me at my most laid-back.

This is with what I agree the most.

"The two-party-system and the artificial division between left and right is especially malign because it confines people into mental prisons, from which they are almost not able to get out. Even in a one-party-system it is mentally easier to be "in the opposition", "against the system". In the two-party-system (which is in fact one-party-system as well), on the other hand, if the left is currently in the office and you are opposed to the system, it is automatically assumed that you are a "rightist", ie. supporter of the party of the right. And vice versa. Most people refuse to see that the two major parties are in fact one and the same party. Thus the liberal democracy, especially in its venomous two-party variety, is the most successful system of totalitarian manipulation ever invented. Each of the two parties usually has a very dedicated voting herd, needless to say." - "Marcus Marulus", Stirpes forum member

Re: What is ignorance?
Knowledge is a felix culpa, to take Saint Augustine of Hippo's words. So ignorance has to be the contrary, a sort of "unfortunate right".
It seems that many peoples are (ab)using this "right".
