I don't think flint's right. I think that the availability of knowledge has NOTHING to do with how much people care.
for example... my sister asks questions all the time, when the rest of the family is watching the news or the West Wing or whatever. questions than anybody who cares about what goes on in the world would be able to answer, stupid questions like, 'thats a country?' or 'wait what does congress do?', things like that.
but by the time one of us has finished explaining it to her, all she has to say about it is 'um, i stopped listening. i dont really care'.


ignorance is not caused by lack of information. ignorance is caused by apathy.
