Thread Name: What's a 'political ignoramouse'?
Subject: RE: What's a 'political ignoramouse'?
In that other thread, slag/Tom actually wrote "ingoramouses", which are mice with very long-haired furs who don't know how to spell themselves.

But the new-born notion of a "political ignoramouse" does strike a chord: A person of otherwise normal intelligence who shies away from any political thought or action. Among the reasons may be:

- politics is amoral (either lie or fail)
- politics is beneath our dignity as artists
- politics is for a self-proclaimed elite, not rooted in the folks' very soul
- politics will make others attack me (rather than just critisize, which they'll do either way)

etc.

If you recognize yourself in this description, please keep yourself informed nevertheless, in case one day you find some issue to change your mind - as many have done before.
