And here lies the issue of ignorance

Yes sometimes ignorance can be bliss
but how can we move forward with silly ideas such as this.
If we were ignorant our whole lives through
then the world wouldn't be the one you always knew.
In Kingston I was impressed with those protesting today
because they were sticking up for the word they needed to say.
You know, we are in a country where we have the power of speech,
the power of ideas and opinions, that capacity to beseech...
but somehow we become so lazy
so we care not if we are heard.
So people think they have little say
but if you looked into things, you might find that ideas will suddenly sway.
Start listening to the news or reading the paper
and you'll find you care, sooner or later.
Open your eyes, take a moment in time,
appreciate your power and please embrace our country in this telling hour.
