Everyone has a need. Everyone has a concern. Everyone will have to live with the outcome. Yet anger and apathy encircles and entraps us at every juncture. Some are too mad to talk about it, while others have simply given up. That's usually a result of ignorance. By ignorance, I don't mean un-intelligent. I mean ignorant...to be 'unaware, or uninformed'. To have any level of discussion about a subject you must at a minimum be informed. Ignorance has no race, color, or religion. It just exists. The best I can figure is that there is no reason for it, other than to thwart the efforts of the informed. The only way I know to fight it is to...well... be inf
