What I don't know (and it's a lot) determines what I say more than does the little I do know. And that explains why so many ignorant personal pronouncements appear on this blog. I simply do not know any better. In fact, I don't even know what to do about it, unless it were for me to stop blogging altogether. Which is (currently) unacceptable.

But there seems to be one saving grace regarding my intellectual capabilities. As ignorant as I admit to being, there seems to be a great number of individuals alive in the world who are even more ignorant than am I. And an even greater number of people who are not only ignorant, but are downright stupid.

The above image emerged from History Tech which is frighteningly informative on the subject of ignorance.
