Ignorance Control !King_Amazon! Style

Very true, but at the same time the Internet has also made information and more awareness available at the speed of light as well.

I think people have made it pretty clear that they don't want to be informed or aware, they just want to believe whatever fits their ideals, regardless of how wrong it is. The fact that there are still people who think Obama is a muslim and he's going to turn our country into the Taliban Land is proof enough of that.
