OPINION: So many people are WILLFULLY ignorant.
Ignorance is not bliss.

Eventually, people will wake up to the fact that ignorance is not bliss.
If they don’t wake up in time; they may find themselves in a world they
could never of imagined — and it won’t be to their liking.
By then, it will be too late.

Moscow, April 20, Interfax -

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Kirill noted that since 2000 there was ‘an important turn in our country’s political life,’ which he believed to be linked ‘with President Putin.’ Today there is a certain vector in Russian political life that is supported by majority of our people, he added.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The metropolitan acknowledged the important role of youth movements and organizations, including the Nashi movement, in development of active citizenship. Young people can ‘jointly oppose those who destroys our society morals and struggle against vulgarity,’ he added.”

Agreed, my daughter and the world she is growing up in, is so vastly different than the world I grew up in. It’s really very sad.
