Ignorance

This is a word often seen in America. It is in everyday talk, politics, and even news. They over exaggerate, twist truths, and give bias information. The worst part is that we eat it up, and form our opinion off of this. The news demonizes the Iraqi war, when we absolutely have to be there until we finish what we do. Yes, I know the Iraqis want us out, but if they do, then they need to do something about the Taliban. Otherwise, they are complaining about something that they won’t do anything about. Now, some people may disagree with me, so here is an example of information that only ignorance can argue with. As most know, Obama gave a speech to the United States students. People said he wanted to brainwash us, and make us all agree with what he does. Now, if I remember correctly, he said near nothing about politics that he didn’t lead to a lesson for the students to try hard in schools. Where is the harm there? There is no harm, only overreacting. You may say that they didn’t know what he would say, so they assumed the worst. In response to that, think of this. How many presidents have done exactly what Obama did? The last 5, for example.
