Oh, ignorance, You are so very funny.

This, my friends, is what we’re up against.  And, dare I say it, not just half a world away.  There are people everywhere who know next to nothing, but believe they know everything.  And the great tragedy is that the people who are not ignorant, the people who are educated and self-aware… they are often paralyzed by their knowledge.  They can see a situation from every possible angle, and so they see it from no angle at all.
This is the tragedy.  Ignorance brings simplicity.  Simplicity brings conviction.
