Ignorance is NOT bliss, although it may ease one's mind. 'Tis my notion that when one wilfully cuts off avenues of information that others have access to one is deliberately blinkering oneself.

It is why, for instance, I make myself listen to Bush and/or read the text of whatever speech he has made. I must say that I rarely listen all the way through a Fox News show but when an issue comes up I do search archives. And when the likes of O'Reilly or Coulter show up on one of the talk shows, I listen alertly- and take notes.

To create wide blanket statements and cast them as though they were presenting the accurate view(s), to me, is not only cynical but dangerously naive. Sorry, George, much as I am discomfitted by the heresy your take on many political matters strikes me as shallow and superficial.

Far from being bliss, ignorance can kill.
