Isolate yourself from reality.

Kadizzle can name so many people that make it a point not to watch or read anything that does not support the dream world they live in. Recently Kadizzle got in a prolonged written conversation with a fundamentalist. Repeatedly Kadizzle offered articles, books, and a variety of information to the poor girl lost in the fog. She wanted no part of it. Nothing was going to penetrate the world of stupidity she had concocted for herself. Kadizzle loves NPR. NPR is one source of news that goes out of its way to be truly fair and balanced. My young friend said she would not watch PBS or listen to NPR because Gwen Ifill played softball once with Obama. Bill Maher is about the best there is for going after the simple minded. I asked my friend if she watched him. Of course she did not. One consistant thing Kadizzle has found about those who chose to be ignorant is you can never pin them down. Kadizzle on many occasions has given one of the foggy minded an article and said "Read this and underline exactly what you disagree with". They never do. Frequently they will say "Well, that comes from the New York Times, so it has to be a lie". How easy it is to be stupid. Then you ask them "What is a good source for news?". They stare back at you with a blank look. Very quickly you realize when you talk to them all the information they do have is coming from the likes of Rush, Glenn Beck, and Fox. These people are being very careful to stay in their own world where Glenn makes up history, and Fox never apologizes for lying. Uninformed people are the biggest threat our country faces. We live in a country where knowledge is considered an evil indulgence by the East coast liberal elite. As my old Republican friend up the street always said "Education just confuses people". That is why communist countries are so care to make sure people do not have knowledge. In our country Rush, Glenn, and Fox take care of that for us.
