Battling Ignorance
Ignorance will be the death of this country. We cannot prosper for much longer as long as ill-informed people keep making decisions they deem 'acceptable'. People don’t take the time to understand a situation and usually use information taken from false data and others' biased opinions. Ignorance effects the rich and the poor, the powerful and powerless, and the famous and common people across the globe. As Emma Goldman said, "the most violent element in society is ignorance."
